SAN DIEGO−You should worry about what Donald Trump is going to do next when:
*
He eats “the most beautiful piece of chocolate cake you’ve ever seen.”
*
He has just finished watching Fox and Friends or listening to the Alex Jones Show.
*
He announces he has found the “best” person to appoint for a position in his administration.
*
He considers rescinding ATF, EPA FDA, SEC, or other acronym agencies’ regulations.
*
He feels that the CIA, Congress, the Courts, the FBI, or the media aren’t treating him fairly.
*
He hears from the Pentagon that a weapon is the biggest in its category.
*
His approval rating sinks below 40 %.
*
He is alone early in the morning and holding his smartphone.
