Trump’s Sense of Invincibility

Jonathan Swan: “President Trump often says he’s the smartest person in the room on virtually every topic. Now, after taking several risks on what he privately calls ‘big shit’ and avoiding catastrophe, Trump and his entire inner circle convey supreme self-confidence, bordering on a sense of invincibility.”

“Three years into Trump’s presidency, their view is the naysayers are always wrong. They point to Iran, impeachment, Middle East peace. Every day, Trump grows more confident in his gut and less deterrable. Over the last month, 10 senior administration officials have described this sentiment to me. Most of them share it.”
