Lela, I really appreciate the clarity of Robert Kagan's analysis of Trumposis.  I have done pretty well not catching it, but none-the-less have found myself coughing with it a little bit.   Mr. Kagan wrote, "...his proposals change daily. What he offers is an attitude, an aura of crude strength and machismo... They provoke and play on feelings of resentment and disdain, intermingled with bits of fear, hatred and anger. His public discourse consists of attacking or ridiculing a wide range of "others" — Muslims, Hispanics, women, Chinese, Mexicans, Europeans, Arabs, immigrants, refugees — whom he depicts either as threats or as objects of derision..."  This is a summation that starkly defines Trumpbosis had has given me a new measure of objectivity so that I won't be 'coughing with it a little bit' anymore.
