At the time of his election, I thought he never contemplated winning the election. The look on his face, early on, seemed like he had terror. Not sure at whether it was due to what he learned in briefings, or being scared of the responsibility or what. I do think he is an idiot who hates America. He is smarter than average, but barely. More than anything, he reminds me of my youngest brother - and arrogant, mean, doofus. He just wants what he wants, and will do anything or say anything to get it.
I think it was Richard Belzer, or maybe someone like him, who thinks that they show a newly-elected president a film of the JFK assassination that no one has ever seen before from the grassy knoll vantage point to scare him into line.
