Lincoln was the last president, I believe, that designed something and got a patent for it … a maker. I’d like to see a president (and congress) that knew how to design and build things and fix them when they’re broken. Breaking and blaming doesn’t cut it for me.
Charles P. Pierce looked at Trump’s interview with the New York Times. He has a different take on it than most people. Trump’s New York Times Interview Is a Portrait of a Man in Cognitive Decline.
“….What Schmidt actually got out of this interview is a far more serious problem for the country. In my view, the interview is a clinical study of a man in severe cognitive decline, if not the early stages of outright dementia.
Over the past 30 years, I’ve seen my father and all of his siblings slide into the shadows and fog of Alzheimer’s Disease. (the president’s father developed Alzheimer’s in his 80s.) I was interviewing a prominent Alzheimer’s researcher for a book I was doing, and he said, “I saw the look on his face that I see every day in my clinic.”
In this interview, the president is only intermittently coherent. He talks in semi-sentences and is always groping for something that sounds familiar, even if it makes no sense whatsoever and even if it blatantly contradicts something he said two minutes earlier. To my ears, anyway, this is more than the president’s well-known allergy to the truth. This is a classic coping mechanism employed when language skills are coming apart….
Cognitive decline is a very nice way to describe Trump’s condition. Wasn’t that something of the sort that Reagan went through during his final couple of years in office? His cabinet and his wife protected him and they governed in his name to protect Reagan’s legacy.

He’s a hands-on type of manager.
Sees a problem. Tweets about it. Doesn’t read the replies.

Trump said that fixing the infrastructure in this country would be the easiest job ever and he’s going to take care of it this new year. Bigly.

In the middle of the night or early morning? If not him, who else? The demon sitting on his head perhaps?
