    The only way it could be theater is if all three of them are world class actors who have stayed entirely in character for years.

    It’s simply far more likely that all three of them are, just ss they appear, thin-skinned, emotionally stunted manchildren, currently engaged in a schoolyard slapfight.

      Trump is a world-class actor who has stayed entirely in character for years. I could see the other two playing their parts at Trump and his merry band of miscreants’ direction. Remember. They need us to forget about gutting Medicaid (and Medicare), the billionaire tax cuts, the raiding of the public space for loose money so they can fund those tax cuts, and the imposition of a right-wing religious autocracy on us. Don’t lose track of that as you enjoy the entertainment this show gives you. That’s all I’m saying.

      PS: I do agree that they’re thin-skinned, emotionally stunted man-children, but they’re also conniving bastards, and they want you focused on the drama…
