It couldn't be a more disturbing sight. The depraved Donald Trump soaking up the love of the religious right, bragging about the assassination of the Iranian general Qassim Suleimani.
And claiming he ordered the killing to stop a war.
When in fact the evidence suggests the opposite.
As you may know, I have struggled for years to try to determine what makes Donald Trump tick.
And so far my diagnosis includes extreme narcissism with a touch of paranoia, possibly aggravated by early onset dementia.
But it seems I may have overlooked a critical psychological factor, the Dunning Kruger effect.
Which makes him more dangerous, than even I had imagined.
By now I'm sure he only sees what he wants to see, only hears what he wants to hear.
But it's going to be hard to avoid that new poll. The one that suggests that Trump is not only incredibly unpopular.
But also that a record number of Americans want him to be impeached.
He's made the cover of New Yorker magazine again, just in time for Halloween.
But even that the portrait of a killer clown can't properly portray the horror of Donald Trump.
The grubby groper, the short fingered vulgarian, the bully, the beast, the shameless liar who has just shattered his own one-week record for dishonesty.
The president who as the Republican Senator Bob Corker said yesterday, will be remembered for debasing his own country.
