On Fallibility

One benefit of the Trump presidency is that it shatters the myth that the POTUS controls this vast flawless apparatus that makes him omniscient and omnipotent. Tin pot Wannabe Gods like Barry of the styrofoam™ pillars loved to feed that idea. With Trump it was possible that the first weeks he was in the White House no one would tell where the bathrooms were and he was lucky if the driver took him to the right airport. Many otherwise sober adults thought that Trump could walk into the Oval Office and push a button and then say, "OK I want the facts on the Kennedy assassination, and Area 51, and Obama's transcripts and birth certificates, oh and by the way, what happened to Judge Crater?" Trump is like most CEOs and managers. He spends a lot of time looking for someone who will tell him what is really going on.
