I was struck by Mr Trump’s language reported in a recent interview:
President-elect Donald Trump said in an interview with “Meet the Press” moderator Kristen Welker that “you have no choice” but to deport everyone who is illegally in the U.S., including possibly removing the American citizen family members of those deported. [NBC News]
You have no choice … classic passive-aggressive language, isn’t it? “It’s not MY fault that I have to deport you …”
But, of course, it’s not true. Politics is all about finding palatable compromises to slushy situations like legal children, illegal parents. But Trump is no good at making deals, of emotionally handling compromises that bind him to actions that he doesn’t like.
So He has no choice.
It’s really a key to his entire personality, his man-child approach to being a President. He wants to be a strongman just so doesn’t have to deal with hard situations. And we elected him Prezzie? His own people may bounce him out on his ear.
