Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Meltdown

Trump has been even more unhinged than usual on Twitter recently.  He's also apparently divorced from reality.  This morning, he retweeted a video from a British hate group.  His response to Matt Lauer's firing is to change the subject to the fact that NBC runs stories he doesn't like ("fake news").

I think Donald Trump is a profoundly stupid man, because he thinks he's smart.  One of the first things a smart person realizes is how much she doesn't know.  But I also think he's a compendium of psychological maladies, and the stress of the presidency seems to be exacerbating them.

Thanks, Republicans.  Hope you enjoy your tax cuts for billionaires.
