Situation Desperate But Not Serious

[poliphilo]

Does Trump- with his assertions that his office's communications were hacked in the closing stages of the presidential campaign-  realise he actually won the election- and isn't still running against Obama? Is all the noise he's making just the way he is or a cunning strategy to confuse and bedazzle his enemies (which at this stage of the proceedings means just about everybody in the world apart from his inner circle).

Following the revelations from Tuam I find myself wondering (as I often have before) why the Catholic Church doesn't just crawl away into a corner and die of shame- but then I remind myself that power elites just don't do that- not ever, nohow.

Then again, it could just be that he's a paranoid idiot!

Don't get me started on Tuam- a friend of mine in Ireland has just given birth and she's both ashamed to be Irish and furious.

I don't think we should underestimate Trump. Paranoia goes with the job- and he was thin-skinned to begin with. Mind you, just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you.

He is the master of the diversionary tactics. Whenever there's something going on that he doesn't want the press talking about, he goes off on some outrageous tangent. Having said that, I don't think he's clever and he's a thin-skinned narcissist. I really don't know how long he can last, but it will have to be his own party that take him down.

I'd say "clever but not intelligent". He knows how to duck and weave but he's not very subtle about it. On the other hand we've never seen anything quite like him before...
