We all can be fooled. When Trump first announced that he would run, my initial reaction was that he won’t win. That
soon changed when he mentioned building the wall and showed he was not afraid of the Thought Police.
Good point. There may also be an element of wishful thinking involved. The idea that Sessions, Rosenstein and Mueller are colluding to undermine if not outright destroy the Trump presidency is unsettling. The possibility that there is a secret sting underway that will ultimately target the worst Deep Staters is far more reassuring.
