Ron Suskind quoted some aide largely believed to Karl Rove :

[tetedur]

The aide said that guys like me were "in what we call the reality-based community," which he defined as people who "believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality." I nodded and murmured something about enlightenment principles and empiricism. He cut me off. "That's not the way the world really works anymore." He continued "We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors … and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do."

These days Turd Blossom doesn't speak of him in a positive light, I guess he too is now judiciously studying the new reality that Trump's actions are bringing to the world.

Trump is the natural malignant mutation of the Republican party.
