What the left has devolved to.

It seems unlikely that The Donald is going to change his style now so the Dem equivalent of the brown-shirts are going to be disappointed.  The ordinary working person will tire of their antics and cheer when they are locked up.  In the end Trump comes out better.  Come to think of it, I should thank them on Milo's behalf for the publicity they are providing and helping to spread his message

He's keeping most promises, with the notable exception of draining the swamp. If he wants a second term and a legacy, he's almost got to keep promises. He's got to keep his base happy. That much absolutely makes sense.

But he's still a narcissist. If someone opposes him, he will throw a hissy fit. It doesn't matter if the opposition is a former beauty queen or a head of state. If North Korea or Iran rattles a saber, I feel confident that Trump will show them he has a larger saber. His style features bombast and confrontation.

I've got a close friend who voted Trump. We recently spent a half hour running through issues. In the end we understood each other but didn't agree. It was clear to both of us that the other had thought through their position. I then went on to Trump's personality. I barely got started when he interrupted me. "Oh, yes. He's an (expletive deleted)." He made no attempt, zero, to defend Trump's personality or people skills. There, we agreed entirely.

It's the (expletive deleted) part that makes me nervous.

I'll add that I don't understand the black clad protestors either. Are they looking for their fifteen minutes of fame, or are they seriously out to escalate a spiral of violence? Do they just not like Yiannopoulos, or are they looking to destabilize the country? Obama, seeing violence starting to escalate, would likely try to defuse it. Trump? I tentatively expect a hissy fit. I could be wrong.

We'll see. Too soon for predictions. Soon enough to worry.
