Lew,

David Stockman expertly nailed Trump’s personality and presidency in his column’s concluding sentences, where he wrote:

“At the end of the day Donald Trump is a statist Cesarean who thinks governance is a principle-free transactional ‘art of the deal’ to be performed on a global stage.

“It is not. Not in the slightest. What America actually needs is not a bully boy CEO, but a Federal government that sobers up, balances its books, brings the Empire home and gets out of the way.”

My summary: Trump is a statist Cesarean rearranging deck chairs on The Titanic.
