Alice has uncovered the theory behind Trump’s governmental philosophy. Brilliantly conceived and appropriately named: The Lowest Common Denominator
Theory. This theory holds that if there are more than one possible answer to a philosophical or environmental situation, a major pandemic or war…. the BEST and most PERFECT approach is to get as many answers from as many different camps as possible, find the one common thread that runs through ALL the answers …and pick the lowest common mental denominator. Declare this answer to be the ‘MOST PERFECT ANSWER THAT WAS EVER CONCEIVED TO ANY QUESTION EVER ASKED – and run with it. This approach to government messaging and action has appeal to not only his hard core base – it has the extra benefit of appeasing the country’s enemies.
