[I like Trump but his self-centeredness blinds him to the obvious sometimes.]


Trump’s blind spot is that he thinks he can sell sand to Arabs and ice to Eskimos. That’s why he keeps referring to Putin and Xi with terms like “friend” and so on, despite their fairly hostile acts, as well as his sanctions on them. It’s as if he’s completely internalized Norman Vincent Peale’s The Power of Positive Thinking, and tuned out all the negative possibilities.

Their is little to be gained gum flapping at China and Russia. Obama talked tough and carried a small stick. So China and Russia took what they wanted.
