But never before have so many pieces of the puzzle been disgorged contemporaneously, in such a relentless and flamboyant way. Understanding any presidency is a vast puzzle. All presidents have gaps between the heroic picture they seek to project to the world and the messy, chaotic, compromised reality of daily life in the White House. The question itself is a sign of the times. Three and a half years into his presidency we know so much that it raises the question: What do we not yet know about Donald Trump? We know this, of course, because Trump compulsively narrates his own thought stream in real time on Twitter. We know that the president lives in a state of agitated grievance, spending countless dark hours when most people are sleeping fulminating against his enemies and bemoaning that he is being insufficiently praised.
