Darned cockwombles.
I sorta agree with this, most US presidents would have made the right noises and done the wrong thing, Trump makes the wrong noises and does the wrong thing, which is.... better?
In theory it makes it easier for the observer to hold onto reality, because Trump's mechanisms for destroying reality are less well-honed than those of more 'professional' presidents*. Therefore sometimes he speaks plain unfiltered truth, something most politicians never do for fear of losing out from it.
The problem is that a lot of the people who voted for him don't give a shit. Which is variant on the notion that 'if only we were able to explain the truth to them, they'd come over to our way of thinking' (the basic left-wing political tactic for ever) is based on a fundamental misunderstanding of how human beings operate.
*the Clintons, the Blairs, the Obamas being the ultimate here, I guess.
