Mr. Bridges makes an important point, "We are all passengers on a big airplane now and Trump is the pilot. If he goes down, we all go down."  Indeed, Mr. Trump, come Jan. 20, will be our President/Pilot.  I find that just a bit frightening.  Every action, every Cabinet appointment, every "tweet", IMO, screams "hey, I'm the pilot, I'm in charge, I'm flying this thing and NO ONE is going to tell me how to do it."  Meanwhile, these actions, those selections and those tweets serve to steepen the dive toward that harsh, unforgiving landing most people call a "crash."  

Mr. Bridges suggests we all sit back, have a few drinks (at least those in First Class) and admire the scenery.  Furthermore, he chides the RG for reporting any news which is uncomplimentary toward "our" pilot.  Mr. Bridges: The RG is the "messenger".  The paper "reports" the news,  Mr. Trump, soon to be President Trump, "creates" the news.  If you find that news distasteful, I can understand that.  I do too.  (cont.)
