Pieces of a puzzle

President Trump’s one of a kind – master showman, articulate and unscripted, but prone to ramble; fearless but vindictive; proud to his bones he could use a touch of humility: Last week when the singers performing at his National Mall concert started bailing out, needing to replace them he went on Truth Social, posted: I am thinking about bringing the Number One Attraction anywhere in the World, the man who gets much larger audiences than Elvis in his prime, and he does so without a guitar, the man who some say is the Greatest President in History…

He was talking about…himself.

Rolling on he posted AI images on social media showing himself as a king, a pope, an astronaut, in one post called himself – THE GOAT! – which, translated, is an acronym for ‘Greatest of All Time’.

Sitting in the Knicks game in Madison Square Garden when his face appeared on the TV screen boos erupted; after he left the game, later that night, asked how he felt about the boos, he said he heard loud enthusiastic cheers not boos.

Some folks saw that as spinning a tale.

But that’s not how Adam Kinzinger – a former Congressman, Air Force pilot who flew missions in Iraq – saw it: He thought Trump really heard cheers – because that’s what he wanted to hear.

Kinzinger could be right but let’s hope not.

If we have a president in the White House who can’t tell the difference between a boo and a cheer…Lord knows what happens next.

He could land us in a war.
