You are seeing in real time why Trump companies went bankrupt so many times. Set aside your politics. This guy is incapable of making a deal or meaningful decision and it follows the same cycle. Big flashy announcement (Epic Fury). Adversity hits (Hormuz closed). Defraud stakeholders (promise two week solution). Freeze up (endless two week cycle loop). Compound the problem (resource depletion). Final chance to save face rejected (what you’re seeing now). Bankruptcy strikes and blame others during chaos. Rinse repeat.

@randyengel I'm pretty sure someone told him to say incursion, he messed up, and no one had the guts to correct him.

@Super70sSports Don't ever consider visiting the Philippines if that's a big issue. Heard Mariah Carey singing about Xmas Sept 2!

@Ajarncom I let SCB know, because while in Indonesia they did block it and had to call customer service (not a fun experience). They advised me to call each time.

@FulbrightPrgrm Narrow-mindedness and isolationism threaten something that truly makes the world better. We need more global understanding​, not less. #Fulbright #AcademicFreedom #GlobalEducation 5/

[John Stephany Jr. @johnnysteph]

To say the @FulbrightPrgrm changed my life is an understatement. My dad was on a teacher exchange in Germany when I was born. Went on another Fulbright​, to Germany where I attended Kindergarten, my first real step into international education. 1/ https://t.co/sKnJejGXy1

@FulbrightPrgrm The mass resignation of the Fulbright board over political interference is heartbreaking. Even if you support this administration, I can’t believe this is what you hoped for. 4/

[John Stephany Jr. @johnnysteph]

This is so absolutely true.

Thank you @EduroLearning & @mscofino for sharing this #coachbetter convo with @MsMteachesELLs & me on using a coaching mindset in co-teaching to support all learners. Grateful to @NISTSchool for backing our #EARCOS session. https://t.co/fksUEqzAM2

New: Diplomats in Vietnam warned Washington that halting USAID's efforts to clean up the massive deposit of postwar pesticides would be a catastrophe for public health and relations with a key strategic partner in Asia. https://t.co/yS40KGSh1a

@pakhead I don't think people understand the role that VOA and RFA play in the region. This is devastating to democracy. Shame!

[Jonathan Head @pakhead]

RFA does amazing reporting in the most difficult conditions in this region - especially Myanmar, Vietnam and Cambodia. We rely on them a lot - this is a real blow to us, to transparency accountability in Asia, to keeping people informed about what’s really going on. Very sad.

@clos_gm My 1stprincipal Anne Coggin at @youthvillages had my back when I lost control of my class, residential treatment. She said something along the lines of, "You messed up, I'll give you advice , but if you ever want to be a teacher you gotta get back in there." #pubpdasia

[John Stephany Jr. @johnnysteph]

@clos_gm I would love to, but already booked with some family time. I'm always up to help out / host / promote for any future #PubPDAsia sessions.

A refugee camp in #Thailand, on the border w #Myanmar, had a hospital and 2 medical practices, where doctors cared for 30,000 ppl.
Now all is closed, because #Trump has frozen aid funds. Only the beginning of the catastrophe.
The chain reaction will be unstoppable.
