Moments of Clarity

SUN the real problem1

Does Donald Trump ever have honest to goodness moments of clarity?  I know it seems like a silly question, and the obvious answer might be “no”, but I do wonder…I mean, he clearly knows what the Mainstream media (aka, “the Fake News”) says about him.  Thinks about his politics, his behavior.  He has enough clarity to lie about what he does how he does them.  If he knows enough to blatantly lie, then he has to recognize that the things he’s choosing to lie about deal in things he recognizes that people frown upon.  In the wake of a couple weeks of falling poll numbers, Bob Woodward’s book, Paul Manafort cooperating with the feds, more lies about his border wall, it’s price, who’s paying for it, and of course the Anonymous Op-Ed from a West Wing staffer, the idea that people in his inner circle are going out of their way to keep him from being able to make bad decisions…I genuinely wonder if he goes to bed at night and wonders…even sometimes, and thinks that maybe HE’S the problem.  I dunno.  Maybe I’m trying to attribute just a little bit of humility to a man that has none.
