The Crazy Driver



February 20, 2017 By Taegan Goddard

Graydon Carter: “Trump fatigue has set in, and set in hard. Even the Republicans, who have ridden this stalking horse into office, holding their noses in the hope that they can manipulate him into furthering their agenda, are now mulling their options.”

“Perhaps we’re all wrong, though. Perhaps the president is playing a game of chess and the rest of us are simply moving checker pieces around. Perhaps he intended his Muslim ban to create such havoc and misfortune that we would be looking the other way as he went about the business of dismantling the assets of proper governance. Perhaps he has just taken the crazy-driver approach to new extremes: when there is an erratic, swerving driver up ahead on the highway, you tend to pull back and give him the road. At a certain point, though, you wait for your moment and pass him, relaxing only when you can see him in your rearview mirror. Or perhaps he’s just trying to figure out which chess piece is which, and he really is a crazy driver.”

1. Too much credit to Trump, he's not a mastermind

I think this guy is giving Trump way too much credit. There might be a mastermind BEHIND Trump that's manipulating him, but I don't believe Trump himself is smart enough or clever enough. His only goal was to get lots of adulation as a presidential candidate, and then cash in on a new reality TV show where he's the "star". That's as far as it went.

As for being the actual president of an actual country, he has no clue what he's doing.
