'Whether or not he’s a stable genius, the Trump on display now is the same one we’ve always seen. What’s changed are the circumstances.' (via latimesopinion)
AdvertisementAnd I don’t mean that as in, ‘Trump is violating the shibboleths of the Washington establishment,’” wrote the Washington Post’s Megan McArdle. “I mean that as in, ‘This is not normal for a functioning adult.’”
Instead, his situation is getting more precarious and that is making Trump’s Trumpiness more obvious. Specifically, I think the fizzle of the Mueller probe was a grievous blow to the president, for the simple reason that it removed an extremely useful political and psychological bogeyman.Robert S. Mueller III’s investigation allowed Trump to give voice to his persecution complex.
With Mueller gone, Trump is left scrambling to find a replacement. The “squad” -- the four left-wing Democratic first-term congresswomen -- are, collectively and individually, candidates. And they certainly have their political uses, given their radicalism, hostility to Israel, etc. His base is happy to go all-in against them. But attacking four women of color has its limits as a political strategy, especially given that Trump’s electoral Achille’s heel is suburban moderate women.
