...has decided this all makes for "great television". The TVee is his universe---his reality. He can only conceive of "riveting" his audience. Nothing else is real to him. He's only thinking episode to episode. And are the ratings going up. It's all a fantastic media game to him.

Remember last winter when he was choosing his cabinet? From the Washington Post: "Donald Trump is holding a government casting call. He’s seeking ‘the look.’ "

His personnel choices show signs of being “cast for the TV show of his administration,” said Bob Killian, founder of a branding agency based in Chicago. “They are all perfectly coifed people who look like they belong on a set.”


Several of Trump’s associates said they thought that John R. Bolton’s brush-like mustache was one of the factors that handicapped the bombastic former United Nations ambassador in the sweepstakes for secretary of state.

“Donald was not going to like that mustache,” said one associate, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to speak frankly. “I can’t think of anyone that’s really close to Donald that has a beard that he likes.”
