Don’t Expect Trump to Blow Himself Up

Democratic strategist Lis Smith tells Vanity Fair that expecting President Trump’s blunders to have political consequences all by themselves would be a huge mistake, as polls are already showing.

Said Smith: “That line of thinking drives me fucking nuts. Democrats always think that there’s going to be some divine intervention, that Trump will somehow self-destruct. That is a losing strategy.”

Jennifer Palmieri added: “What we used to think of as a politician setting himself on fire is how Trump thrives.”
