Yesterday morning we were all subjected to the same hopeless ritual. Cable news folks and their guests saying things like "He needs to show empathy" and other hopeful comments that the president would actually display some spark of decent human behavior during his visit to Texas. Of course everyone was disappointed. We should have known that the moment we saw Trump and Melania walking towards Marine One. Trump dressed in khaki pants with brand new never worn before boots and Melania, in her snakeskin stilettos and silk bomber jacket, looking like she was on her way to lunch with her friends. The Trumps are poseurs. They are not like other people.
Tony Schwartz, the man who wrote The Art of The Deal, said it over and over again before the election; Trump has a black hole where his soul belongs.
So why would anyone think that Trump would go down to Houston and suddenly behave like President Obama, saying the right words and holding the victims of this flood in a close hug?
It has become like groundhog day. Everyday is the same. Everyday that Americans wake up to a day when Trump is president will be a day we are subjected to the narrow vision of a man who can not see a world past himself.
This is how it is and this is how it is always going to be.
