Rand Paul's paranoia about Obama is at least moderately funny in comparison.

2. Trump's unpredictability on the world stage has proven to be, at least to me, the one thing about him that's compelling. Enemy nations can't wrap their heads around him so when you see stuff like China putting pressure on North Korea as a "consequence" of Trump's words and actions you realize there might be something to that old "4D chess" meme after all. Very different from past administrations but maybe not bad in the long run.
If I were to pick three things I wanted in a leader (and yes, it matters to us too, as apart from anything else he's going to try take on our low corporate tax rate) I think entertaining would not be on the list. At all.
