Trump: 'I am the chosen one' press conference address.
Some things are true even if Trump says them.
He says 'many Presidents before me' should have taken a different course.
Trust me, that was not a party partisan remark.
He is talking about Nixon, Eisenhower, Bush, Reagan, and all the Democrats, why list them all, too. All. All. All.
He is absolutely right about that. Quite true.
But neither Democrats nor Republicans will quite take his remark that way. They will each think he must be talking about the other party's presidents. In the case of the Republicans, they will think either that he is wrong, or that he exaggerates their Repubican errors. In the case of Democrats, they will think he is merely playing partisan party politics.
Neither will generally see the truth.

Trump is the chosen one. He can't win this, but he, at least, after all these decades, turned and said It Stops Here.
You can say a lot of bad things about him, and about his background, but some things are true. Mostly those things were systematically hidden, or camouflaged really, from most Americans.
It may be that Putin has best made it plain, for Americans, in the FT interview, and trust me, he is not saying that because he favors, from Russia's perspective, Trump's stance. But Putin is not going to be taken for a fool either. He is fine with Americans being fools.

Even Thomas L Friedman, perhaps now, might agree. Eating the crow of globalization.
Thomas L Friedman was fooled for many decades, basically his whole career!
He's another Michael Pillsbury.
