China trade and tariffs and the president's mental stability

LARRY LINDSEY, President George W. Bush’s National Economic Council director, spoke Tuesday separately to both the elected House GOP leadership and top committee Republicans, and his presentation about China and trade turned a lot of heads, according to multiple people who were in both meetings.

LINDSEY, who has an economic consultancy, was a guest of House Minority Leader KEVIN MCCARTHY. Lindsey said he enlisted two psychiatrists to analyze the president from afar. China views President DONALD TRUMP as a “total narcissist” -- “a 10-out-of-10 narcissist,” he said. Lindsey attributed this to the president’s upbringing and said his mother didn’t pay him adequate attention in childhood.

LINDSEY said Trump has no long-term plans or ability to think ahead. He said the president has the long-term decision-making ability of an “empty chair.” The psychiatrists said Chinese President XI JINPING and Trump are very different people, Lindsey said, according to people in both meetings.

Nasty tweet coming up about Lindsey AND Bush.

Wait. Wait.

ALL THAT ASIDE, LINDSEY did say he was in favor of the president’s China policy, and postulated that, because of some of his traits, he might be able to get a deal with Xi. He said that Trump’s position vis-a-vis China is strong, that the U.S. is in a better position than China and that it’s important that America not back down.

So....it's GOOD we have a narcissist with no ability to think ahead as a president?
