It is hard to predict what a 'leader' who rules by chaos and unpredictability will do. Hard, HA! It is freakin' impossible. A previous model that I noticed all by myself (and about a hundred others) was Berlusconi of Italy, who managed to get re-elected many times and is still not out of options in the country that looks like a boot. Meanwhile there is this from America's greatest magazine.

Trump is not stupid. That doesn't mean he's not a fool. But he is not normal and judging him by the same standards we judge almost every other political figure will result in errors in estimating where he's going, where we're going, and what the danger level is.


The only general predictions I feel safe making are that the level of discourse will remain at a kindergarten level with maybe some excursions into elementary school. That those who work closely with him will find themselves debased, and that those who rely on him or trust him will be disappointed.


So I'm ignoring the Singapore stream of news as irrelevant for today and most of tomorrow because I think we're going to get all the non-informational crap in the world tossed at us until there is actual fallout from actual meetings. And even then I think it will be a lot of formulaic crap' because no one can be perceived as other than a semi-legendary great leader.

I think the meeting in itself is a reward to a despotic ruler so there is not way he can lose. It is a debasement to our side to have our top man on a par with their top man. He is even debasing himself.
