WP: Trump is totally delusional about whats happening to him right now

The appointment of special counsel Robert S. Mueller III to investigate possible Trump campaign collusion with Russian meddling in the election puts the Trump presidency in substantially greater peril than it was in only 24 hours ago. But, remarkably enough, this did not even have to happen at all — it only happened because the unhinged behavior of President Trump himself made it happen.

Yet it’s not clear that Trump’s 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.”

1. F-tRump and anyone around him! LOCK THEM UP!

2. Always someone else's fault. If he has nothing to hide

why is he worried?

3. Giving top secret intelligence gathered by Israel to Russia is a PR problem?

This has got to be a joke, there's no way he's that ignorant.

5. it's not a matter of ignorance. that's how he's wired.

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.

8. He also seems to have zero insight into other people.

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.

6. Yep they were supposed to say that that was the greatest idea ever.

4. Back in the 90s, I had a middle management job at a huge multinational corporation

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.

10. Someone close to Trump should ask him ...

what he had for lunch the day before. If after not being able to answer correctly
over several days they will know there is reason to suspect a problem.
