The American leader is meant to be a unifier, a strong and soothing presence in the world. Trump is an anarchic toddler, constantly causing upheaval across the globe, transgressing and remaking everything in his helter-skelter image. He has no interest in fireside chats; he wants to set fires.

 He feels entitled to whatever he wants, from Greenland to Canada to the Kennedy Center, to grabbing pussy, to a Nobel Prize he didn’t win. Unlike previous presidents, he isn’t countering Russia; he’s catering to it. He disparaged the NATO troops who died for us in Afghanistan and belittled our nicest neighbor, claiming that “Canada lives because of the United States.”

Demanding Greenland, which he kept calling Iceland, he whined to global leaders at Davos: “All I want is a piece of ice.”

The depth of his shallowness is infinite.

One Canadian columnist asked: “How would Trump behave differently if he was legitimately losing his mind?”

Good question…..
