I don't usually use other people's ideas but here is a case which demonstrates how far out some Trump thinking gets.

David Frum posited the pull-out was actually a gauntlet thrown down by Mr Trump saying if you impeach I will destroy the world.

Sorry David but this presumes Mr Trump is a skilled Machiavellian politician who understands the consequences of his actions. Mr Trump is none of the above. Mr Trump has gone through life as a narcissistic bully ignoring consequences with impunity or accountability.

Mr Trump is transparent. He is the emperor with no clothes. There is no 4-d chess match. Not even checkers. He is a simpleton narcissist who requires, who needs, adulation and praise. Everything he does is directed to that end.

ignorance is the enemy
without equality there is no liberty
America can survive bad policy, but not destruction of our Democratic institutions
