He is an ideas man, comes up with an idea, declares it is good and will show everyone how bigly a genius he is.
Then he handballs his idea to underlings, and sits back.

It doesn't matter if the idea is unworkable, impractical or a total disaster, Trump will think it is good, and will say so, independent of reality.
Reality and self-appraisal don't get a look-in.

Hopefully the fever dreamers out there are recovering and seeing reality more clearly.
