Oh hee hee yes, that Donny is a scamp, isn't he? Just
hilarious the way he's gutted the civil service and put an
anti-science/anti-vax lunatic in charge of health. Don't
take him seriously, he's just pranking.

Brennan, I don’t perceive him as playing anything like a fiddle. 

The man is a  one trick pony and everyone has simply grown to accept or react to  everything he does. There is no mastery at play, from this man. He has  acted this way for decades. The only difference is that previously, the general public saw him as a bit of a joke.

==============

People say that but continue to get played by his crazy statements.  They say he's stupid.  But how stupid can he be to win the presidency twice, beat all the legal cases against him and confound the experts over and over?  I say he is smart like a fox, knows exactly how to play the media and the population.  

I'm not sure how he was seen before he entered the political arena in earnest.  I only vaguely remember the Apprentice show, the Art of the Deal, and him as a sort of maverick gadfly, with a smarmy side to him.  People like Oprah, and others, fawned over him.  The general public?  I am not sure how they saw him.

I'll give an example of what I mean by Trump plays all of us: he says something totally insane, and all we do, and all the press does, it talk about him and what he said.  It's free advertising.  I am certain that was his strategy during the presidential campaigns.  He had to spend less money because the press gave him free coverage 24/7.  Half the people cursed him, half praised him.  And here we are worrying he may amount himself King for a Third Term.

President for 82 days.

27 of them were spent playing golf.

82 days. He's racked up $30 million in travel expenses.

He's planned a $90 million birthday parade for himself.

He's launched a personal crypto-coin for accepting huge, untraceable donations.

He's announced and paused tariffs 3 times to "bounce" the stock market for billion$.

82 days.

What a stable genius.
