    With respect, the question in the title is off-the-mark.

    Over the decades, the only thing The Donald has ever remained constant about is the size of that which is … “in my pants”.

    He does seem to have changed a bit since his first tour thru the Presidency, but he’s still inexorably emotion-driven, knee-jerk triggered by any sort of criticism.

    It is possible that the Hojjatieh Sect mentality of the theocracy’s core will be unable to deal with Donald’s nature.

    During his first Presidency, the old canard about “kiss his butt and he’s yours” was so obvious, so often. Kiss it and everything he’d said and done before would evaporate.

    Regarding the Hojjatieh, when one believes that they can control the behavior of the Divinity, they aren’t likely to be able to perform political theatrics.
