- President Donald Trump’s greatest political liability is not simply
his dishonesty or stubbornness, but his delusion, writes The New Republic's
Michael Tomasky.
In a Monday column, Tomasky
describes Trump's inability to recognize reality when it conflicts with his
preferred one. Recent examples include Trump's belief that the affordability
crisis is a "Democrat hoax." The other is Trump's delusion that he
can make gas prices better and bypass the necessity for Iranian oil by using
Venezuelan oil. Trump captured the Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro just
after the first of the year. In his absence, the remainder of his government
has been largely cooperative with the U.S.
This all mixes in with Trump
ignoring public polling about his failing popularity and the consequences of
his policies.
