This is the last paragraph:
Thats how you move Trump. You dont talk about ethics. You play the toughness card. You appeal to the art of the deal. You make him feel smart, powerful, and loved. You dont forget how unmoored and volatile he is, but you set aside your fear and your anger. You thank God that youre dealing with a narcissist, not a cold-blooded killer. And until you can get him safely out of the White House, you work with what you have. People in other countries have dealt with presidents like Trump for a long time. Can we handle it? Yes, we can.
