nice. to paraphrase the Shadow, "who knows what evil lurks in the heart of Trump?" for it is impossible to determine what he's up to or has a long-term plan. I suspect he's totally tactical and lacks a strategy and doesn't particularly care what the ultimate outcome is as long as he remains in the center ring for the moment and appears to have great power (which may ultimately prove to be different from having great power)
Jim, completely agree. Definitely not capable of strategy. Tactical only in the sense that an amoeba responding to light is tactical—that is to say, not even that. He’s a spoiled four-year-old sociopath with dangerous toys. Brain not sufficiently developed to understand even the first order of consequences—other than, as you say, to be the center of attention. Wonder if anyone is collecting Trump headlines for a bound 80th birthday book.
Thank, John. This is a disgraceful performance.

Great piece, Stan!
