Trump’s (Yes) Passivity
I’m
puzzled about an aspect of President Trump’s behavior, while in another part of
my mind I recognize that it is not at all problematic, but wholly in character.
I explain.
Every
day, my news-reading fare includes a number of pieces that are either critical
of Trump, are sarcastic about him, or otherwise make fun of him. His popularity
with the press—at least the chunk that I read—is as the butt of accounts of
great variety.
Well,
he’s not the first in the negative eyesight of vox populi, but he may be among the rare who do not “fight back” in
response of repeated “attacks.”
The
question: is he silent because shielded by his staff from his treatment by the
larger world—and hence ignorant of their reactions—or because he doesn’t give a
damn. I’m no fan of Trump, but I still hope it’s the latter.
