Subject: Re: World’s Trade Map, Minus the U.S
Trump treats everything like a reality show. He announces that he will say something important days ahead like news reports who tease t tune back in after an advertisement to get an important story. He chooses cabinet secretaries because they look good on TV and, because they are likely incompetent, the only way they can hold their jobs is to be loyal to the pitch of the day (good, bad or ugly). The world is being conned into believing that he is serious about nuance (most of which is nonsensical posturing) rather than his ultimate goals. He sets "deadlines" to keep the story in the news and then, when reached, simply moves the goal posts, rinses and repeats. I would say his biggest punishment would be if people were apathetic towards him, but that would mean not having a clue about the damage caused by the chaos of his chosen actors.

To him, this is all a game, but to the rest of the country/world, it's called life.
