Procrustes Stretched
"intuition and imagination and intelligence"
Donald J Trump keeps exposing himself in public like the cheap hustler he is, and it's like watching a train wreck unfold in slow motion. It's like he has no second act. Read a few paragraphs below from one media outlet.
In the latest attempt to initiate his campaign's long-promised "pivot" to the general election, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump delivered an address before the Detroit Economic Club on Monday that was equal parts conservative pablum, distortion and conspiracy theorizing. But hey, at least he didn't insult a new ethnic group, so I imagine some folks are going to score it as a very presidential moment for him.
"We now begin a great national conversation about economic renewal for America," said the former reality television star, who largely stuck to his prepared script for the address. "It's a conversation about how to make America great again for everyone, and especially those who have the very least."
The policy content of the telepromptered speech was warmed-over Republican orthodoxy: tax cuts, deregulation and an insistence that any effort to combat climate change be subverted.
