A fundamental theory of quantum physics is that of supersymmetry. The theory is that for every subatomic particle there is an anti-particle. We need an anti-trump particle, sort of a shadow cabinet that will quickly and consistently confront every stupid thing that Trump advocates. It can't be left to Saturday Night Live but needs to be done by the leaders of the Democrat party. The notion is not to obstruct the Trump administration and the Republican Congress but to confront them when they are wrong. To the extent the Republicans propose something sensible and useful, like a proper infrastructure building program, the Democrats should support it, not seek to obstruct it as the Republicans did during the Obama administration. It would be great if Trump had to appear before Congress and respond to questions as it is done in the British Parliament. That's not going to happen. Truck will not be holding press conferences and answering questions because he can't. He has now nominated Sean Spicer as his Press Secretary. Spicer does not answer her questions either, but fires off preset speeches like some programmed android on steroids.
Trump shows no sign of improvement. His response to the tragedy in Berlin was not one of sympathy and condolences but to claim it proved him right. In other words, everything is about him. He is the most egocentric politician I have ever seen, and there have been plenty of contenders.
Kellyanne Conway is now 2B counselor to the president. Her role will probably be like a Consigliary in the Godfather movies. She is only second to Mike Pence in her perfection of the insincere smile. She is, however, obviously much smarter than either Trump or Pence so we are likely to see more of her than is typical of a counselor to the president.
