It's a circus (as we thought it would be) and he's the ringmaster
He made some promises during the election campaign and these first couple of weeks are about him showing he can keep them but...
He promised to build a wall that will now resemble a flyscreen.
Mexico will pay...but now indirectly :
In fact what will happen if he slaps a tax on Mexican products is that folk will buy American instead, which is his aim
He promised to ban immigration from Muslim dominated countries until it could be properly vetted....what we get is a ban from selected countries for a period of 90-120 days.
That will be over in a blink, but a promise kept.
He's kept his promises in a half-hearted fashion. He can say he kept them... but he's got the world in a tizz.
Problem is it's not the world that counts and as criticism mounts overseas he expands his own base locally as americans become defensive about that criticism...protesters we see in the streets aren't Trump supporters anyway so they're protesting to the converted.
He's a Chaos Lord and he's being fed exactly what he wants at the moment.
The strange thing is that the group of people who will be effective in stopping him going on his merry way are the Republican lawmakers, if they have the will...and that's where it sits at the moment.
