even to mention dwight eisenhower in the same breath as donald trump is almost shocking to me. eisenhower was a moderate, sophisticated person who had led the american operate in europe during the second world war. donald trump is an intemperate former reality tv show star who i think was quite shocked by his own victory on wednesday morning. so he is going to be trying very hard. you know, one of the things that i think upsets americans who are protesting is that he's very much like one of us suddenly thrust into the oval office. you know, we imagine what would we do if we were going to be president in less than 100 days. it's even compounded by the fact that this is a person who doesn't read so he gets all of his information from television and from briefings. don't expect him to turn to doris carnes goodwin or john meachem to figure out what a president does. i think it's going to be terribly difficult for him. >> julian, michael brings up a good point, that he doesn't have any experience, but that is what drew a lot of people to him is that he is an anti-establishment man.
