Still, we must be careful not to engage with Trump with the policy of offering ad hominem comments instead of containing our statements to quantifying the facts before us and responding to those. See Plato, Republic book I, section 24 ( I believe) , the dialogue with Thrasymachus and the effects of commenting on the person and not the issues. It's the oldest trick in the book and we must be wary of basing our arguments on these personal comments. In doing so we are not lapsing into the game that Trump wants to play. He has no rational basis on which to proceed and as such his conclusions are not supported by reason which involves objectivity and listening as well as speaking and not ranting. We all now know whose Trump is and what he is. It would be wise not to ignore the observations made in Book I. It is exactly what is going on here.
