Self-indulgent Trump embraces the permanent campaign

Donald Trump had been scheduled to give testimony this week in the “Trump University” fraud case, though the case was settled before the president-elect had to suffer this indignity. But a few weeks ago, the Republican’s attorneys said the whole case should be delayed – because Trump was far too busy to play any role in the proceedings.

And at first blush, that made some sense. Ordinarily, a president-elect has to maintain a rather grueling schedule, choosing a cabinet, attending security briefings, staffing his White House, speaking to international leaders, preparing a policy agenda, and even preparing for his inauguration. Every hour of every day counts.

But Trump isn’t ordinary, and he isn’t spending his time the way presidents-elect usually do. Trump, for example, is offered daily intelligence briefings from U.S. national security agencies, but he skips most of them. And instead of turning his attention to the enormous responsibilities that will soon fall on his shoulders, Trump yesterday made time for some self-indulgent celebrations of himself and his recent campaign.

It's always about HIM. Nothing else but HIM. All the time.
