Eraser and Bluffer-in-Chief

Talmon Joseph Smith, writing for the NY Times about how liberals who grew disillusioned with President Obama welcome his reemergence:

But now we are older, and living through a deadly pandemic with a leader who embodies the antithesis of Mr. Obama’s empathy and rationality. A man who attempts to ignore or erase all realities inconvenient to him and who seeks gain through bluffing when division, his first instinct, fails. Suddenly, an Obama-style civics and the competent, bipartisan-minded technocrats of his administration would be a godsend.

That’s as good a description of our current president as any.
