And that’s what’s so worrying about Trump. Such a big body,
such a big ego, such a big bank balance, but such a woefully small mind. Or
maybe his mind isn’t so small, for how can I really know? Certainly his words
and behaviour indicate a paucity of decency and adroit thinking, but maybe he’s
only pretending to be dumb in order to garner the approbation of a certain
corner of the American electorate. I haven’t failed to notice that bigger minds
than mine even in America
have called him a fraud often enough.
And that makes the situation all the more worrying. It’s why
thinking people in the rest of the world are concerned about the pernicious
influence his presidency might have on us. He says he wants to make the world a
better place, and he also says he wants to get the Mexican wall built quickly.
There’s an odd paradox there because if you want to make the world a better
place you don’t build walls, you build bridges. He says he intends to put America first.
Didn’t Hitler say the same about Germany?
