The movie Titanic had one really good scene. The ship had already swiped the iceberg. The behemoth continued sailing along and appeared to be doing just fine. But one person on the ship, Thomas Andrews, knew that it was doomed. Andrews was a naval architect who was in charge of the plans to build the ship.
After he tells the captain and some other key people on the ship that it is going to sink, they react in disbelief. One declares that the ship can't possibly sink.
Andrews responds, "She's made of iron, sir! I assure you she can. And she will. It is a mathematical certainty."
It's one of cinema's great scenes as men wrestle with approaching doom, made all the stronger by Victor Garber's superb performance. It's also the perfect metaphor for our current moment in history.

Hogwash. The man is complete smoke and mirrors.
He tells you how great he is by donating his $400,000 salary every year.
Then after he panned Obama for taking a Golf trip, takes more vacations and golf trips than any other president costing the tax payer $108 million dollars. Oh, this is at his resorts by the way, which profit from him being there.
Don't be fooled. The emperor wears no clothes.
