A COLLISION awaits President Donald Trump. Exactly when it will take place isn't clear, but it is almost certain to occur. The extravagance of the president's rhetoric is soon to meet the reality of governing.
The president's inaugural address was perhaps the baldest example of the rhetorical bravado that marked his time as a New York developer, a reality TV star and, yes, as a candidate. Restraint is not in his vocabulary.
