Link to Geg Sargent OPED in Washington Post.Yet its not clear that Trumps less-than-vise-like grip on reality permits him to even grasp this.
---SNIP---
Separately, The Post reports that Trump is raging at his staff for failing to mitigate his stumbles. Why? Because Trump largely thinks that his recent mishaps are not substantive but simply errors of branding and public relations, according to people close to him and the White House.

(52,574 posts)his entire life has been a sham based on image. almost everything bad is just a pr problem and/or enemies who need to get fired. the only thing that's possibly real are bills that need paying, and he's mastered abuse of the legal system to get out of those, offload them onto others, or at least to get them as low as possible.
i don't think it enters his mind that he could be criminally liable for anything, or at least that his lawyers or his bank account couldn't get him out of it.

(60,010 posts)Totally clueless that firing Comey would be a problem.
Even if someone told him it would be a problem, his ego shuts them out, hears it as criticism, and he has a tendency to kill the messenger.
I have wondered ..how the hell could he reach this age without someone, at some point, beating the crap out of him?
Somebody replied....."bodyguards".
Seem to remember reading he had bodyguards. Certainly never went anywhere alone, before the election.

(24,404 posts)I was once called into the HR office where I was told in no uncertain terms that part of my job was covering for the numerous fuck ups of my direct superior, that she had been designated by upper management as an up-and-comer, and that was just the way it was.
I left that job in quick order.
I get the tRump idea that subordinates are supposed to take the blame for his fuck ups. That's sort of SOP in the corporate world.
