Donald Trump strode into the room in the White House, past the full dress marines who saluted and ceremoniously opened the large wooden doors giving access to the gold-trimmed carpet, so that the President could confer US citizenship on five carefully chosen candidates in an astoundingly discordant charade completely at odds with Mr. Trump’s true position on immigration.
The President’s regal entry immediately brought to mind the image often shown of Vladimir Putin following the identical spectacle before proceeding to a podium. Obviously, Mr. Trump has adopted Putin’s Tsar-like fanfare and, undoubtedly, would like also to emulate his role model’s autocratic grip on executive power.
