“President Trump spent Friday confronting the deadly landfall of Hurricane Florence – only to have that disaster eclipsed by the revelation that his former campaign manager cut a cooperation deal with special counsel Robert Mueller and a growing #MeToo crisis surrounding his Supreme Court nominee,” Politico reports.
“The trifecta culminated a week of the president careening from one fiasco to another, before he had fully recovered from the publication of damning excerpts from Bob Woodward’s new White House account Fear and an op-ed published anonymously by the New York Times claiming that senior staff are working to undermine him.”
Said Trump biographer Tim O’Brien: “Two things motivate almost 100 percent of his behavior: Self-preservation or self-aggrandizement. There never is a strategy because he’s not a strategic thinker.”
