There is a recurring theme in the media and within and among liberal cliques -- Trump is "batshit crazy." This conclusion seems to assuage the cognitive dissonance that this man's performance seems to cause in people. Even many of his policies have people leaping into this psycho pool ... see: Breitbart Article.
But is he nutso? The former psychiatrist now news commentator, Charles Krauthammer, hasn't rendered this diagnosis. In fact, Krauthammer has warmed considerably to this man since his earlier frequent negative utterances. And why might that be? I think that it is due to what Trump has been doing since he assumed the presidency. Today is the traditional end of the first grading period for this office. I have already given Trump a B- ... see: Report Card. I have heard grades from C to A+ ... but no Ds ot Fs. Even former foes, like Ted Cruz and Paul Ryan, have warmed considerably to the man.
So, this supposed lunatic has not yet steered the ship of state onto the rocks. Matter of fact he is a man of action ... in stark contrast to our previous president who was a man of inaction ... particularly on the international front. Yes, he sporadically did things like the Iran nuclear deal which were better not done ... but, in general, the world ignored the US as much as they could.
They ... North Korea, China, Russia, Iran, Mexico, Syria, Afghanistan, Canada, Germany, France, Great Britain, Iraq, Australia, Taiwan, Egypt ... no longer can ignore our president.
Yes, Trump is eccentric and unpredictable ... but he is becoming less so as we have learned to decipher his unusual personality. What is that term? The "new normal" ... is nutso. Get used to it.

As Maher said, The manager at a Chuck E. Cheese could have presented a more detailed plan.
