Musing about why there is such media discomfort with President Trump, I've come up with another cockamamie theory -- Trump's tolerance for cognitive dissonance is a lot higher than much of the media's. And, since the general public is unaware of much of the conflicting forces at work moving things forward, they are suffering much less angst than the media and its hangers-on.
In other words, Trump's tolerance for confusion and conflict is much greater than the purveyors of our news. This character trait on Trump's part must have come as a result of his many years in constructing Manhattan skyscrapers ... where the complexities are enormous and fatal problems present themselves daily ... so that only one who can keep the end product clearly in mind can keep his sanity and forge ahead.
America's committed liberals, having been used to the more simplistic vision and management style of Obama, are having great difficulty adjusting to this newer Trump methodology which permits, nay relishes lots of counter currents. And so they descend into vicious ad hominids and craven coup conspiracies.
Meanwhile Trump is going about the business of triangulating through this flak much better than Bill Clinton ever could. He has his "hand on the throttle and his eye on the rail" ... engineering his country through the debris left to him by "the one" who was mot a builder ... but merely a smooth talker.
Obama was a razer (his notion of "change") while Trump is a builder. Quite a mismatch.

And if he fails, he can always declare the USA bankrupt and then take the tax write off and carry forwards. China will certainly take ten cents on the dollar for our financial instruments.
China may have to if we don't get our fiscal house in order. How about a constitutional amendment putting everyone on cash accounting? Maybe even requiring balance?
