UNFAIR!

Donald Trump claims he's being treated unfairly. He knows this because he sees himself being criticized for the stuff he does and says, stuff he knows to be perfectly good and in no way subject to criticism.

How did he come to this conclusion? Easy—he's human.

Humans know everything—including the unknowable—and literally can't be wrong.

We know things with the omniscience of gods because our brains lie to us. The little gray cells edit our view of the world in order to present unassailable proof that everything in our heads is golden.

We can't be wrong—by definition. If it's in our heads, it must be true—otherwise, what the hell is it doing in our heads?

(Don't worry, our sycophantic brains have vetted this logic and found it perfect.)

Trump tells a graduating class that when you get push-back from your jealous enemies, you need to put your head down and charge forward. Keep going on the path you know to be right.

Or, as Davy Crockett famously said, "When you're sure your right, then go ahead!"

But human beings always know they're right.

Too bad going ahead in the face of our genetic idiocy often means walking a path of blood.

Usually somebody else's blood.

Maybe it would be okay if every bloody path led immediately to the death of the guy marching forward. Start out and die right away, see? Saving the lives of countless innocent bystanders.

But it doesn't work that way. We tend to preserve our own lives at all cost. We may grieve over collateral damage, but we dismiss it as necessary to vital success.

The things we do, need doing—for the good of all. Let the historians count up the bodies—and exonerate our actions. We know they will!

Donald Trump has a lot of confidence that he knows what he's doing. He knows his supporters love him, and he's right. Polls have shown nearly everybody who voted for him would do it again.

(Give the devil his due, the man is one hell of a campaigner.)

Problem is, the skills needed to get elected are far different from those of governing.

In his privileged life, Trump has always been able to scream at someone to do something and get that thing done. Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way in government.

Sympathetic critics noted that newly elected President Eisenhower was going to find Washington a lot different from the army. A general can issue orders and get instant results.

Same with a rich guy.

Obey the general or end up in the stockade. Please the rich guy or get fired, maybe blackballed in the industry of your choice.

People with a lot of confidence trust themselves to figure out what to do. Trump is famous for trusting his own judgment over that of others.

The problem is, his judgment is flawed.

He'll say anything to get the approbation of the crowd. That works great at a political rally, where all but a rowdy handful are rabidly adoring.

In the Oval Office, in front of Russian officials, Trump is likely to blurt out anything that makes him look important. What's the point of being an insider if you can't rub it into the faces of your companions?

Trump blurts stuff out. He goes off script. He makes ridiculous promises. He assures folks everything will turn out fine if they'll just trust him.

Is that so much to ask?

After all, he's the President of the United States of America, elected in the greatest landslide of all time—once all the votes are properly adjudicated.

Not that long ago the man "found out" he'd been wiretapped by Obama, a matter that—in Trump's mind—has been proven true by independent sources.

A certain level of fallout drifted down from this bombshell of information.

But it'll be nothing compared to the crapstorm coming when Trump "finds out" the situation in North Korea has reached the point where his only option is to nuke the place in the next 24 hours.

And there is no way we can be sure he won't "find out" dangerous stuff like this.

And expeditiously act on his excellent new knowledge, confident he'll be vindicated in the histories of our age written by future cockroaches.
