Dunno... Giving us a very early Emporer without Clothes rendition by offering additional dues as a way to make Mexico pay for his wall does not point to a mastermind of at least Dr. Evil (from Austin Powers) level...

Of course this could also be argued to be a move to off-balance everybody, but the topic being so close to the center of his campaign makes this interpretation onshaveable by Occams standards to me

>We have a prime minister like that. He's a master of drama, overstatement, big words, inventing of enemies (or rather those who are attacking him for the good he did), even shedding a tear here and there to benefit the cameras. One of the popular sports here is to guess who will profit from the current smear campaign (and there are 2-3 a month). The favorite sport of his is, you see, mudslinging. His nickname on the forum here is "psychoswan".


So this is the decade of TV reality "leaders" cropping up regurlarly ?
