Trump, CPAC and the Waldo Congress

So far, for me, watching the Trump administration is like watching some bizarre experimental theatrical production in which three completely different plays are being staged at the same time.

 

On one stage is the farce put on by the news media and the left (but I repeat myself). They are hysterical, dishonest and deranged. They see Russian spies under the bed. They bewail violations of civil rights where none exist. They cry scandal at every slip of the president's tongue. They're absurd. If there is a real danger to our country right now, it comes from the left-slash-media's ceaseless emotionalism and distortion combined with their willingness to sanction and encourage genuine, as opposed to metaphorical, violence.

 

On another stage is the president. He says stuff that isn't so. Some of it is meaningless. I don't care if he exaggerates his electoral victory or his inaugural crowds or the number of illegal voters. I could pretend to care, but I'd be faking it. I just don't. Let Trump be Trump. But it concerns me when he says we should take Iraqi oil and then DefSec James Mattis says no, we're not taking Iraqi oil — especially when I've heard National security advisor pick H.R. McMaster say, "If you treat civilian populations with anything but respect you're working for your enemy." The point is: Trump has a loose way of mouthing off. Sometimes, when you're president, that's not so good.

 

Finally, on the third stage, there is practical reality, the things that happen, the things the administration has done. These, so far, are largely great. Spectacular appointments, great Supreme Court pick, righting our relations with Israel after eight years of stabbing one of our best allies back and front, putting the brakes on regulations and federal hiring — all wonderful. A few glitches, of course, but all in all, Trump is keeping his best promises and I honor him for it and it makes me glad.

But day by day, it's beginning to dawn on me: there is a fourth stage, too, a stage that is so far dark. Congress. The Waldo Congress, I call them, because — where the hell are they?
