How will Donald Trump, if elected, meet with foreign dignitaries or participate in organizations such as NATO? Felons can not leave the United States.

If he were to be unable to leave the United States he'd send representatives abroad.
Most international discussions are by that - Presidents and Prime Ministers participate only in the very few top-level meetings.
If nothing else it might mean he can't invite himself to other countries on "State Visits"!
The UN and NATO are not operated by Heads of State or Heads of Government, and those two organisations' head offices are in the USA anyway.

@ArishMell Actually, most "ruling" is as CEO, the POTUS must surround themselves with a group of smart, passionate, compassionate experts, those that run their individual areas and play a general role in a cabinet as well. If one looks at previous administrations, look at then turnover, the number of resignations in the face of embarrassing disclosures or actual indictments.

@samueltyler2 So a shrinking pool of expertise, then?

@ArishMell I don't really think there are fewer honest, intelligent compassionate people. It lands in the hand of who chooses those to serve! .

@samueltyler2 Ah, I see. The departmental expertise being still there but those choosing have to do so with an eye on what Sir wants...?
Or is in fact the number of those who left, really a very small proportion of the administrators? Publicity tends to make problem like this far worse than reality, leading to those lazy "they are all...." cliches.

@ArishMell in the US there are people appointed by the administration, subject to the whims of POTUS, and fir the moment, the staff people, aka civil servants, generally career people who worked their way to whatever position they may attain by merit. #45 tried to force out any he could who didn't play by his rules. He and his followers have aimed their arrows at the entire civil service workforce. They want to abolish the laws which, currently, protect those workers, so they can be fired for no other cause but disagreeing with the POTUS. Such people as career scientists in the EPA, DoA, FDA, and on and on, would find their jobs in jeopardy. There are sufficient good people, his track record has not shown his interest. He prefers to appoint people to pay them for their loyalty or his ability to control the to do his wishes.
