I am recovering from a brief retreat to a dark room after writing that title. But hey, it might be true.
Consider, as an example, his calm and measured approach to North Korea. Okay, accepting that North Korea’s leadership model is not based on the soundest foundations, nevertheless, dear Donald’s responses, both verbal and Twitter based, have not been overtly diplomatic.
Whether in front of his domestic media, or in front of the world at the UN, and certainly in the early hours missives into the ether of the web, DT has not been slow to present his opinion of his opposite number on the Korean peninsula.
And it would seem that, with the insanity – I choose the word carefully – of the rants, the two sides of the 38th parallel have decided that it’s time to talk. Face to face. Without an orange at third base.
Perhaps we can join some other dots. From the ‘pussy-grabbing’ recording released during the election campaign, and the resultant activism, predominantly from women, to the public admissions and condemnations of known behaviour within the entertainment industry.
Is it a stretch to say that Trump’s initial step too far saw the door jammed open, allowing the shame to stagger into the light? It might be, but his behaviour was a trigger for action amongst many who would never have left the couch.
It is, as yet, too early to see how the decision to move the US embassy to Jerusalem will play out. But it has certainly presented clarity to the sides. Perhaps it will be the small stick that breaks the camel’s back of deadlock.
My vague hope is that the more he tries to break, the more the opposition will build, and the more complete the reversal of direction.
Would that we could say the same for the UK.
Unfortunately, with a few cartoon, or old children’s comic, exceptions, the Tories present a less obvious odiousness and crass stupidity.
This of course means they are more dangerous. By appearing almost human, they can oversee the grand destruction of a country’s rights, equalities and freedoms.
And nobody is reporting the shouts of horror.
We need a Donald Trump.
I now need another lie down.
