Trump is "clueless what any of this means internationally or historically," senior adviser says

From CNN's Jim Acosta

President Trump has yet to grasp the magnitude of the damage being done to his standing in American history and the nation's place on the world stage resulting from his second impeachment and actions surrounding the Capitol siege, a senior Trump adviser said.

Based on conversations the adviser has had with Trump since Jan. 6, the adviser said the President is "clueless what any of this means internationally or historically."

Trump has told aides and advisers he does fear what the violence at the Capitol has done to his businesses.

"Yes, he is worried about the long-term brand," the adviser said.
The adviser said there is a real possibility that Trump could end up "broke" based on his accumulation of debt and the stain on the Trump brand.

That is something the President fears, the adviser added.

After he's dead, it won't matter. There's no heaven or hell to him though he pretends to be a Christian. Grab the riches on earth while you're alive. There's no reconcilation in the afterlife, because there is none to him. Putin's thinking too.

To explain trump what his actions mean? So either he is telling trump and he is incapable of grasping the concept or trump just doesn't care.

The fucking idiots trump has surrounded himself with will ruin this country. Make no mistake there were ways to stop him and the advisors and republicans chose not to. They are all in, still. Even though they know he is unfit to even tie his own shoes.
