Does anyone watch Madame Secretary?
It was interesting last night. She went to the Philippines and had to defend herself against an attempted sexual assault by the President of that country.
When she went home, she and the U.S. President's top advisors discussed the man and his personality. They called him a narcissist, and ascribed every trait to him that Trump has. I thought it was obvious that they could not say all those things about Trump, so they created a fictional character.
The real President of the Philippines is a piece of work himself. But this character was created for entirely different reasons. Even the prospective diplomatic moves this fictional leader was making were designed to upset the current world order. That is the same thing Trump is doing.
