Trump is like a child that is influenced easily

Answer to a Krugman article in NYT

your portrayal of The Donald as a temperamental child with inexplicable powers is accurate as far as it goes. But there's a darker side that neither you nor The Twilight Zone explored. This child is susceptible to adults who wish to have his power wielded in their favor. We know that his children are using their father's position to garner business deals. We know that foreign leaders are finding (or have found) ways to influence The Donald through indirect communications. Lobbyists and special interests that specialize in manipulation must be having a field day. But, we'll never know because of the intense secrecy that has been the hallmark of The Donald for his entire life. Non-disclosure agreements with everyone who comes in contact with him; tax returns that will never be released; visitor logs that will never see the light of day; documents relating to Flynn and who knows what else that are hidden or destroyed. This child is frightening not only because of his powers, but because of those who manipulate him.
