What do you suggest? @hartfire
@jackjjackson There's a book by Idries Shah called Learning How To Learn.
It's actually a Sufi book, but the principles apply just as well to all facets of learning.
Trump is, in my view, a remarkably slow learner. He's canny as a fox in some ways - has an instinct for dodging, and yet always a day or two too late, after his advisers have had time to hammer him over just how bad the damage is - but the damage is done and the record can't be erased.
Much better to learn how not to stumble in the first place.

What’s your Biden analysis based on that book?@hartfire
@jackjjackson I think Biden's a subtle and canny player.
He gauges where the majority of the Democrats want to go and follows that.
He's learned to play the game, which is why he's survived in it for so long.

@jackjjackson You and I disagree in politics and most other things.
