    Good question.

    But we both know he "listens" to no one, and tends to act on whatever was last said to him . . . and whatever is most profitable and/or expedient in the moment.

    The result being lots and lots of contradictory impulses and actions. Which makes terrible policy.

    Agreed. That’s the basic gist of culture shaming on Twitter - getting likes and cool points.

    I'm old and people have been laughing at Presidents my whole life. There were endless jokes about Ike playing golf. JFK impersonator Vaughn Meader had a gold record. It has nothing to do with social media, that's just a conduit. When a man in a suit poses proudly for a picture in front of 500 hamburgers, he's gonna get laughed at by many. When it's the President under a portrait of Lincoln, he'll get laughed at more, probably even by some of his supporters, because the incongruous is often humorous.

    Fast food that was cooked offsite an hour before. I’m surprised he didn’t just roll out some microwaves and some frozen hot pockets, let the boys feel real folksy by cooking it themselves

    The difference is that to make fun of JFK or Reagan or Ford or Obama you needed to create a caricature or an exaggeration of them that took a kernel of truth and stretched it to something ridiculous. The one exception was Nixon, who was a paranoid, dishonest hump. Trump actually makes Nixon look downright dignified. To laugh at Trump, you don't have to turn him into a caricature. Who he is, how he acts, the way he speaks, his level of stupidity and ill-informed bullshit, makes him a joke without the Saturday Night Live sketch doing it to him.
