Who Needs a Soap-Opera?

After implying that Puerto Rico might not be granted adequate disaster recovery funds, Donald Trump went back to his favorite milieu - television.

In accepting and commenting on the resignation of Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price, Mr. Trump spoke as if from a script for the soap opera Days of Our Lives.  He said I certainly don’t like the optics.  I’m not happy, I can tell you that. I’m not happy.

As the several months of the Trump administration have demonstrated, optics (AKA appearances), not real crises like the two noted above, are what matter most to the current occupant of the White House.
