Trump is gaslighting the public. You can see it in the way he fires cabinet members. (Original Post)

OP
He has no balls. He can only fire someone on camera with a well rehearsed script

He knows what the people want!

He is a bully and a wimp! He was going to fire him, had him on the phone and couldn't do it so he had Kelly give him a call (heads up) and then he got the firing via tweet.

(13,081 posts)4. I disagree with ThinkProgress on this one
Theyre going waaaayyyy too deep with the analysis. Its really a very simple combination of two very simple things:
1. Incompetence. Hes fucking stupid. He may, occasionally, be crafty (he did get almost half the votes, after all), but hes got no plan because hes too dumb for one.
2. Ratings. The only semblance of a plan he DOES have is to get good ratings for his Presidential Reality Show.
Thats it.
