Sounds a lot like the widely mythologized Reagan (http://www.salon.com/2015/12/28/behind_the_ronald_reagan_myth_no_one_had_ever_entered_the_white_house_so_grossly_ill_informed/). I knew a political strategist who claimed the White House staff had to present policy information to Reagan in cartoon form to keep his…

Particularly since everything I’ve seen suggests he’s only planning to travel to states where he won. That is the opposite of unification.

I know, so sad.

No, someone here will remember what it’s called... It’s a collection of Hitler’s speeches.

It’s mein kampf isn’t it?

No, it was a fascist German book...

Someone downthread agrees with you, and so do I.

Clearly this isn’t a blatant attempt to rally his followers and inflame their anti-everyone-not-a-white-man passions. Obviously.

He doesn’t know how to exist without an outside source of adulation.

My inner historian is already colleting articles. We’re going to have a hell of a documentary one day.

Look, I know the comparison is already getting worn out but this is actually an idea lifted straight out of the Hitler/Goebbels playbook. He wants to give all these people a place to go to push the love the cannot feel in their lives towards him, and push all the hate in their hearts towards any protesters that show…

Just raise the taxes on the poor.

He is never going to govern, in the traditional sense. He is much too lazy and intellectually incurious. He will delegate, and when he can’t do that, he will rely on “trusted advisors” like Bannon to research the issue and tell him what to do. Presidential decision briefs will be limited to 10 minutes, and will be pro…

I fully believe that’s why he ditched everyone and went to the steakhouse a couple of nights ago. “God, this just isn’t any fun, I need to go where people like and praise me. It’s just one night. It’ll be terrific. I promise.”

If anyone is allowed to, after the raft of NDAs he’s making people sign, and if anyone even has 1st Amendment rights after he’s done...

Who’s paying for this, by the way?!?!?!?

I can’t wait to read the tell-all books about what a nightmare working for his presidency was. You know, after all this is safely behind us.

Unfortunately, I can’t remember where I read it (WaPo?), but one of the articles about what a gong show the transition has been claimed that the day after winning, Trump announced his plans to go on a victory tour of rallies, and his staff and advisors unanimously told him, no, that’s a stupid idea, that’s not how…

There were a couple of topics where it was clear Trump didn’t understand the question, so he just winged it with “well, I probably agree with Secretary Clinton, but I think... (veers off onto a crazypants tangent)“.

I loved her reaction facial expressions: “Can you believe what this buffoon is saying?” She must have practiced, because they were spot on.
