Give Trump credit for skill in keeping us off-balance
I was wrong about Donald Trump. Really, I was wrong.
For two-plus years I’ve written, or agreed with people, that Donald Trump, our president, is: incompetent; psychotically narcissistic; a liar; a grifter; a cheat; a liar; a thief; intellectually dead; unable to focus; too lazy to read; too dense to absorb information; incurious; a liar; emotionally crippled; a racist; a liar; misanthropic; a liar; a sell-out to Russia; a b.s. artist; a liar; lazy; self-centered; crude; careless; delusional; xenophobic; a liar; and the worst president ever. I gave him credit for nothing.
But I should have, given him credit.
Because he deserves credit, a lot of credit, for being the most open president ever; even more open than Harry Truman, who willingly offered everyone a good piece of his mind.
But Donald Trump does more. He tells us everything. What he’s thinking. What he’s feeling. What he knows. What he plans to do. Everything.
And that’s why I continue to agree (and write) that Donald J. Trump, our president, is incompetent; psychotically narcissistic; a liar; a grifter; a cheat; a liar; a thief; intellectually dead; unable to focus; too lazy to read; etc., etc., etc.
Because Trump clearly tells us every day, with every speech, on every tweet that he knows nothing of history, politics, tradition, societal norms, presidential norms, international relations, finance, trade, or moral rectitude (and that’s the short list).
