Expecting #45 to change
Reader comment on item: A Conservative in the Age of Trump
Submitted by Sherry Dutzy (United States), Jan 28, 2017 at 10:28
Expecting #45 to change by becoming introspective, deliberate, strategic and less impulsive is like expecting a mute to suddenly speak - not impossible but extremely unlikely. The personality traits of #45 go deep, changing them is not within his control. I don't understand why millions of people can't see it.
