Trump’s organization is a privately held company, so he has had no accountability in his professional career. When someone runs a publicly traded company, they have a board of directors over them. They have to answer to the stockholders through that board of directors, thus, they are use to accountability.
This is one of Trump’s greatest weaknesses. He is not use to that accountability, thus thinks he can get away with anything.
He also seems to think that he has unlimited power to do whatever he wants. Which he (and his family) are quickly finding out isn’t anywhere near the truth. Being POTUS is not like sitting in Trump Tower.
It’s a ghost town in here with respect to the usual Trump cultists. Where are they all? Reality finally catching up to them? Have they figured out they supported a criminal and a horrible human being?
Most Americans know bad behavior when seen. It can be forgiven (all politicians lie) explained away (he’s a counter puncher) and justified (the economy is good). But the behavior remains reprehensibly bad; defensive, insecure, petulant, peevish, careless, dishonest, lazy and stupid.
I typically would tend to agree with this whole thing. But the virtual cult-like obedience, loyalty, and devotion to Trump by some, albeit an ever shrinking number, leads me to believe they lack the awareness to overcome their obsessions towards him.
I hope so too, NF, but this has been cited before: Nixon had a 25% approval rating AFTER being forced from office. So that tells us volumes about cult-like loyalty. There will always been 25% of folks who have no awareness or their awareness is overpowered by loyalty. Strange.
