It has already been documented how Trump’s minions have fit the mold of Lewis Carroll characters from Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, from Sean Spicer and his replacement, to Bannon and Priebus.  But a close reading of Carroll’s works reveals that this mathematician and fantasist eerily predicted Trump, his team, and Congressional leaders to an uncanny degree.

Trump’s 3:00 AM Tweetstorms, such as the ones on being wiretapped: “Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.”

Bannon’s Philosophy, which drives all White House initiatives: “If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn’t. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn’t be. And what it wouldn’t be, it would. You see?”

Bannon pep talk to Trump going through identity crisis: “Never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might appear to others that what you were or might have been was not otherwise than what you had been would have appeared to them to be otherwise.”

Trump to Bannon: “Speak English!  I don’t know the meaning of half those long words, and, what’s more, I don’t believe you do either!”

Sean Spicer’s views of the press: “If everybody minded their own business, the world would go around a great deal faster than it does.”

Carter Page/Michael Flynn’s peculiar recollection techniques: “I’ll tell you, if you’ll come a little further on . . . I can’t remember here.”

Republican strategy session on repealing and replacing Obamacare:

“Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?”
“That depends a good deal on where you want to get to.”
“I don’t much care where.”
“Then it doesn’t much matter which way you go.”
“…So long as I get somewhere.”
“Oh, you’re sure to do that, if only you [t]alk long enough.”

Prospects for enactment of the AHCA:

“Why it’s simply impassible!”
“Why, don’t you mean impossible?”
“No, I do mean impassible.”

Public response to Paul Ryan explanation of AHCA and his rejoinder:

“Only the insane equate pain with success.”
“The uninformed must improve their deficit, or die.”

Real Trump vs. “Presidential” Trump: “I knew who I was this morning, but I’ve changed a few times since then.”

Trump White House Philosophy on “remembering” things that have not actually happened: “It’s a poor sort of memory that only works backwards.”

Kellyanne Conway explains factual misstatements: “I’m not crazy. My reality is just different than yours.

Kellyanne Corollary: “A dream is not reality, but who’s to say which is which?”

Trump’s overall guiding principle, embraced by Republican Congress: “The more there is of mine, the less there is of yours.”

New hire being welcomed by Bannon at the White House:

“But I don’t want to go among mad people”

“Oh you can’t help that. We’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad.”

“How do you know I’m mad?”

“You must be, or you wouldn’t have come here.”

Trump: “It’s no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then.”

Bannon; “Imagination is the only weapon in the war against reality.”

Paul Ryan explains differences between ACA and AHCA:

“Take some more tea.”
“I’ve had nothing yet, so I can’t take more.”
“You mean you can’t take less. It’s very easy to take more than nothing.”
“Nobody asked your opinion,” said Alice.”

Trump: “I’m afraid I can’t explain myself, sir. Because I am not myself, you see?”

Trump, about to tweet, after restraining himself the previous night around the power elite: “I wonder if I’ve been changed in the night. Let me think. Was I the same when I got up this morning? I almost think I can remember feeling a little different. But if I’m not the same, the next question is ‘Who in the world am I?’ Ah, that’s the great puzzle!”

Response of press to explanation of how the new Muslim ban is legal when the old one was not, and Trump aide Stephen Miller had said they are essentially the same: “Well, I never heard it before, but it sounds uncommon nonsense.”

Spicer on preparing for a press briefing: “It would be so nice if something made sense for a change.”

Trump/Bannon exchange:

“Have I gone mad?”

“I’m afraid so. You’re entirely Bonkers. But I will tell you a secret: All the best people are.”
