Cognitive dissonance

The White House’s top Ukraine official confirms there was a quid pro quo

The idea that Trump did not connect the  investigation of Hillary, the  UK and  the dossier mess with his own efforts to get the Ukraine involved in the same act.  

His aides know and suffer the contradiction, like Barr looks stupid in the whole affair. So his aides have careers to worry, they have to seem at least normal.

This dissonance on Trump's part is quite humorous, but is speaks also to his supporters. At some point it becomes obvious, this guy has something akin to Alzhemier's and his supporters will look like boneheads.

I like the idea of a nutty president, maybe, they accidentally shake things up. And we have some protection, he is debt constrained, unlike Reagan.  Trump also mimics Nixon which is astounding, like he was not even reading the news at the time.

I dunno, I think he is harmless, as long as he is debt constrained. Sort of makes me want to leave the Fed as it is, let government dwindle, harmlessly. A harmless government being the key, keep the social engineers at bay.
