Deconstructing a complex predicate involves taking out sub-predicates and sub-sub predicates and examining all of the facts that cause each predicate to hold or not. Trump’s `leadership’ involves ripping out the top level predicates and simply defining sub-predicates to hold or not depending on his impulses at that minute of the day. Yes, it is his correct recognition that humans, especially the deplorables, aren’t very good with depth first search. He’s got a depth cutoff of about 1, as do they. Marcus
