<p>Donald Trump is making a huge mistake in believing that his method of operation, so successful in his business career, in any way equips him to be a competent president of the United States.</p><p>It is, in fact, the very opposite.</p><p>His obsessive-compulsive nature cannot permit diplomacy because, as it heightens, it becomes less and less reasonable and manageable. Any great statesman or stateswoman is calm and self-possessed (see &#8220;No Drama Obama&#8221;) and will listen and turn thoughtful before drawing a conclusion.</p><p>Trump shoots before aiming. This may become something with which the nation must reckon.</p><p>Trump&#8217;s news conference on Feb. 16 was called on short notice, and his obsessive-compulsiveness took over &#8212; there was something he had to say.</p><p>The press conference came off as a rambling monologue, interspersed only occasionally by reporters&#8217; questions and comments.</p><p>As a response, the resistance must fight to be heard. He would like to move the media, and others, to the sidelines at a time when their input is most needed.</p><p>If Trump gets ensconced in the office of chief executive, we could lose all the freedoms afforded in a democratic republic. He is wanting to be a law unto himself.</p><p><strong>Richard J. Yost</strong></p><p>South Abington Township</p><style>
