Trump can’t last. He’s a bad liar and so self-centered that he doesn’t have the necessary regard for others that would allow him to fool people in the long run. The dark side of empathy would allow him to relate to people and respond in a way that kept their attention and adapted as expectations developed. He sees only the surface and underestimates people to the point of not caring to understand them.
My sense is his tricks have all been spent. The slogans are already wearing thin and the feedback in the form of results requires such a deep level of gullibility that his loyalist will simply forget to breath one day and all topple over in a massive hysterical snit.
Alternately, as Leslie suggests, Trump is the distractor. All eyes follow him while the magician sets up his trick in full view of the audience. The trick is?

This story is hopeful:
