I don’t doubt Trump’s instincts regarding the methods he uses to keep his base loyal (the tweets, the barely veiled racist/ misogynistic comments, playing the victim, etc). While it troubles me that it works, there’s really no question that it DOES work.
But, in the process of pleasing his base, he’s also doing significant and long-lasting damage to the world community. To paraphrase Terry Pratchet, Trump is a natural statesman in precisely the same sense that a fish is a natural mountaineer.
