President Donald Trump is a fatally flawed individual, a morally-challenged man with the body of a 70-year-old but the maturity and self-control of a truculent toddler. I have tried, really I have, to identify at least one redeeming quality but, aside from the fact that he has a beautiful wife, I’ve been totally unsuccessful.
There was a scintilla of hope in January that Mr. Trump might grow and mature once installed in the office to which he was elected, but his advisers have been no match in coping with the bad habits that guide and define him. It is a tragedy for our country that, as far as our president is concerned, it would be easier for a magician to pull rabbits out of a hat than to pull habits out of a rat.
