Our Commander-in-Chief has attitudes that seldom rise to the level of ideas. For the most part, they are noxious and stupid, though the ones that descend from old fashioned “isolationism” are at least less lethal than the Cold War and empire-friendly attitudes that nearly all Democrats evince. Or rather they would be if anything ever actually came of them.
There is however one attitude of Trump’s that is so deeply ingrained that it might just as well be called a “fixation,” an idée fixe. That would be that “the deep state” is out to get him.
