The Trump presidency is promising to play itself out as farce or fiasco. Take you pick.

History records other narcissists in power: Nero, Louis XIV, Henry VIII and Napoleon. Trump is too smart to take intelligent briefings and more intelligent than his generals.

Ignoring the advice of 17 agencies on Russian influence in the U.S. election smacks more of hubris than smarts. But then, maybe he knew all along and was happy to see an attack on Clinton from any quarter. The Electoral College meets on October 19, 2016. Trump's tax returns have not been disclosed and he has not resolved the conflicts of interest inherent in his position. Will the College show any teeth and ajoun until Trump has made full disclosure to the nation? 

I pick farce for the theme of the trump presidency.
