Did Trump sound panicked or scared? Like someone whose plan is failing? Like someone who is defeated? Hopeless? How about someone who got the job seeking emoluments? Does he have any of the indicia we have come to know so well? To the contrary, I would argue. Either Trump is the greatest actor on earth (I saw him in Home Alone 2... meh), or he is riding his favourite stallion into a fight he knows he'll win. How does he know? Because no matter where he goes in the world, free thinking people like you and I turn out to greet him and wave a letter of the alphabet at him.
