An almost inexpressibly sad specimen

Conservative writer George Will explains why Trump must be miserable


despite it’s professed principles, the Republican Party under Trump has left the country with a swollen deficit, a malfunctioning and subservient Senate, and a populace forced to endure the president’s daily humiliations.


He also noted that Trump’s own subservience to North Korea’s Kim Jong-un has left him completely unable to manage relations with the rogue regime. With another summit announced for next month, but no notable successes gained from the first meeting, his diplomacy promises to continue on as an embarrassing failure.

He is an almost inexpressibly sad specimen. It must be misery to awaken to another day of being Donald Trump


“Which is why this fountain of self-refuting boasts (“I have a very good brain”) lies so much. He does so less to deceive anyone than to reassure himself,” he wrote. “And as balm for his base, which remains oblivious to his likely contempt for them as sheep who can be effortlessly gulled by preposterous fictions. The tungsten strength of his supporters’ loyalty is as impressive as his indifference to expanding their numbers.”

I watched an interview with Will the other night. I can’t recall his exact verbiage, but it was something along the lines of “Trump is mentally ill.”

George Will also said Mike Pence was the worst person in politics, so if you are putting your lot in with George, you better be defending Trump's presidency.

George Will has an occasional bout with conservatism. Otherwise he's just another Deep Stater.

Will was right on both counts. Trump has no sense of history or respect for the office. He went from a blustering bully using his money to bludgeon anyone he dealt with, to a guy who has spent 2 years attempting to do the same as president. He spends his time looking for escape hatches and powers he did not know existed. That is why he was playing like a kid with the pardoning power. He was pardoning some crappy people to see if he could get away with it. He did, so he thinks the whole family will escape untouched. But he does know it will be necessary.
