How do you get a President trembling on the edge of a psychotic break to focus on his agenda? That’s the question animating talking heads on TV. Maybe if you took away his smart phone and turned off his television sets and made him go to bed at night? Would that get him back on his agenda?
Does a lunatic have an agenda? If he does, do we want him to focus on it?
Henry Adams, a historian, the son of a Speaker of the House of Representatives, the grandson of a President and the great-grandson of a President, argued that the Presidency was devolving in the 19th century. After Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison and Monroe, we began to get Beavis and Butthead in the White House. Adams did not live long enough to meet Nixon (paranoid crook and traitor), Reagan (senile), George W. Bush (sap) or Trump (malignant narcissist).
How low can the President get? Lower than whale poop settling onto the bottom of the Marianas Trench?
