The Manchurian Candidate

I think the one thing we should all be able to agree with is nobody can accuse President Trump of being a "Manchurian Candidate" the name coming from the title of the 1962 Cold War thriller about a platoon of US soldiers captured during the Korean War, taken to Manchuria China, and brainwashed into becoming sleeper agents for the Russians and Chinese.

No foreign power could possibly hope to put someone like Trump to work when he says so many stupid things each day that half the world spends most of their waking hours mocking. 

I'm not sure the same can be said for some previous Presidents but that is another story.

But maybe I'm wrong?  Maybe a foreign power would do precisely that knowing the media is so simple-minded that they would focus on his narcissism and miss the real subterfuge.
