Last night, I was reminded of the John Cleese TV series "Fawlty Towers", where the running joke was for the hotel manager, Basil Fawlty, to make some relatively small mistake, and then spend the rest of the episode trying to cover it up, making a huge mess of it. The debacle always ended in total disaster with his complete and utter humiliation. In the next episode, he hadn't learned anything, but did the same mistake all over again.
This is what we are seeing with President* Trump, every week. With John Cleese as a fictional character, it was great and memorable comedy. In real life with the President* of the United States in the lead role, it's not the least bit funny. It's sad, embarrassing, and very, very scary.
