President Trump’s New Clothes
President Trump’s February
16, 2017, impromptu press conference was notable for a great number of
things, including his statement, on being called out for exaggerating the size
of his 2016 Electoral College victory--“I was given that information .” Of course, he expected everybody to believe
his claim just because he said it.
“But he has no clothes on!” shouted the little boy in Hans
Christian Andersen’s fable. Donald
Trump has surrounded himself with sycophants (or Svengalis) in his “fine-tuned
machine” of an administration.
This country will not be able to look to its new President
for leadership. Rather he will smoothly
translate into convincing policy goals the schemes of friendly manipulators who
represent special interests. That’s his
expertise; that’s his art of a deal.
