It’s A Good Life…

I’m beginning to feel as though I’m trapped in a version of Bixby’s “It’s a Good Life” with Trump cast in the role of Anthony Fremont – the three-year old child with godlike powers who is destroying everyone around him.

The difference being that Anthony is a child who knows no better, whereas Trump is a sullen, resentful old man who is fully aware of the deliberate chaos he is sowing.

The Observer asked a question in its recent editorial on Alexei Navalny:

When Trump calls Putin a “genius” who exhibits great “common sense”, does he understand – does he care – that he is dealing with a ruthless killer?

The answer, clearly, is that Trump couldn’t give a damn about other people, he cares only about himself.
