There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." - Isaac Asimov
It's like they don't expect this to happen every time you put him in front of reporters with a microphone, and especially when they allow him to take questions from the media.
How many times has this been the line from anonymous White House officials? Oh yeah, literally every time. You don't get to be "stunned" anymore, this is sadly predictable now. He didn't "go rogue", he "went Trump", like he always does.
As much as I may disagree with some of his social/economic policies, hot damn do I wish I lived in a world where the Republican president was Kasich and not Trump.
I'd still say low. Both men love their country, and are willing to go through hell to protect it. Even if that means serving at the pleasure of this president.
Though with every passing day I fear that cracks may be appearing in their armor. They need all the outside support they can get from people who support the deeply patriotic baby-sitting that they're being forced to suffer through.
