This week-end, as usual, my latest Trump Watch article was published on Impakter ( just updated this morning, 5 June 2018):
Among Western political leaders, Trump stands out. Normally, when the campaign is over, politicians forget the opponents they beat or at best, include them as allies in coalition governments. You never hear Macron mention Marine Le Pen and both Angela Merkel and Luigi Di Maio have formed governments with their opponents. Not so Trump. He is obsessed with Hillary Clinton and still treats her with insults, in campaign mode: "Crooked Hillary"! She is behind everything that's wrong with this country!
The right words to describe Trump? Obsessed and delusional. His “Crooked Hillary” obsession is demonstrably foundational. He tweets more about "Crooked Hillary" and everything he can attribute to her than about anything else. Even the policies he has launched and that could change the world come second, like climate change, North Korea, China or the trade war he has recklessly unleashed on America’s closest allies (Europe, Canada, Mexico).
Deep down, a doubt is eating him up: his electoral win was neither fair or indisputable. Hillary Clinton got over 2 million votes more than he did and that haunts him. We all know it was due to a quirk in the American electoral system: The votes she won in the cities weighted less than those he got in the GOP-controlled rural areas.
Trump can’t stand the idea that his win was not clear-cut, it drives him crazy. He denies the evidence, he takes refuge in delusions. His inaugural crowd was the largest, larger than Obama’s. Russia never helped him, neither did the Cambridge Analytica team (he is careful to never tweet about that particular scandal).
It was “Crooked Hillary” all along, a Dem conspiracy, they spied on him, they spied even before he got into the White House! The Justice Department and the FBI are infiltrated by Hillary Clinton people conspiring against him. The fake news press - CNN, the New York Times, the Washington Post etc - is systematically misrepresenting his presidency.
Predictably, this is the kind of Fox news he loves to retweet (and he broke with protocol to tout the jobs data before it was released):
He’ll never retweet the New York Times...And he probably did not read that NYT article. If he had, he wouldn’t be so happy. ...

223,000 jobs added in May, even the NYT runs out of words to describe how good the numbers are! pic.twitter.com/K1GB8G0zsf— FOX & friends (@foxandfriends) June 2, 2018
