Like him or hate him (the Republic seems to be evenly split on that issue), you have to admit that President Trump’s blunderbuss approach to the presidency has created a huge interest among the governed in what’s happening in the government. We’ve gone from “No Drama Obama” to “Donald the Disruptor.” I’ve even gone so far as to start following him on “the” Twitter (both @realdonaldtrump and @potus), the first time I have ever used the thing. It’s not that I don’t trust the “liberal” (so dishonest and unfair?) press; it’s just that they only report a small percentage of the supreme leader’s overnight rantings. I have a desperate craving for a full serving.
Yes, many believe that quiet competence or mild incompetence excused by best intentions (Obama and Bush II) may be preferable to the Silvio Berlusconi approach, which involves, in equal parts: ruling, partying and self-dealing, but I think the country is strong enough, at least for a while, to let the new administration get its legs and, just maybe, settle down a bit and get serious.
