      Trump's great weakness may turn out to be that he always has to "be himself," that he can't adapt.

      If so, the way to defeat him is to put him in a situation where being himself will destroy him.

      An ordinary moderately wise person would see through such a trap, but Trump will dig himself in deeper.

      But we have to choose the situation more carefully than the Democrats did during the election.

      It has to be one where by digging himself in deeper, he does actually harm himself, rather than making himself more popular with his base.

      The good news is, winning the election will have given him much more confidence that following his instincts will always work.

      If so, becoming president will strangely enough have made him weaker.

          hopefully he's not smart enough to realise that now that he won he has to follow advice rather than instincts

          never follow advice unless your instinct tells you the same

          Call me cynical, but I think this will be worse than expected. A buffoon like Ford still effects Toronto's politics & policies ...

          Ford, personal issues aside was a great mayor. Perhaps not the correct example here.

          actually, I've seen many people become weaker by winning through innate strengths

          Bad leaders do more damage than good ones do good. I think the US is in deeper trouble than most people think ... I hope i'm wrong.

          would be a nice effort but likely still secondary to where the S&P stands
