1. Thats always been part of the problem, he thinks he is above everyone else and different rules apply

Its pure arrogance and narcissism.

[ArtTownsend]

8. EXACTLY...arrogance and narcissism. I'd add "willful ignorance" too.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

14. I will nitpick and suggest his ignorance isn't willful.

It's ignorance, pure and simple.

[ArtTownsend]

15. Yes, but he doesn't want to learn. Or he's incapable.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

17. I think he does not understand there is a reality out there

other than what is in his head.

Certainly, he has zero interest in learning anything. Remember how we learned shortly after he won the election (so to speak) all sorts of agencies discovered that any briefing had to be on one side of a sheet of paper and totally in bullet points. He's clearly incapable of any kind of attention span.

One of his professors at Wharton called him the dumbest student he'd ever had. But of course, he thinks he's the smartest person in the room.

However it is, his ignorance is appalling, frightening, and dangerous.

2. We know that his supporters are not smart enough to know

that he did anything wrong.

[Ohiogal]

3. Doesn't anyone advise him as to what's legal and illegal?

Heh ... like he’d listen, anyway.

[tblue37]

9. He fired Kirsten Nielsen for daring to say that some of his orders were not legal. nt

[ArtTownsend]

10. Classic malignant narcissistic behavior. And classic DICTATOR behavior too.

Remember what happened to Comey? And HE ADMITTED IT PUBLICLY (the Lester Holt interview).

[zooks]

4. The word they're looking for is ignorant

He is an ignorant man who doesn't know what he doesn't know and doesn't care

[malaise]

5. That he could meet with the NRA to finance his defense

is all the proof you need.

ITTMF!

6. An extreme narcissist of this sort cannot admit wrongdoing, for they live in a selfish fantasy world

----"Since reality doesn’t support their grandiose view of themselves, narcissists live in a fantasy world propped up by distortion, self-deception, and magical thinking. They spin self-glorifying fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, attractiveness, and ideal love that make them feel special and in control. These fantasies protect them from feelings of inner emptiness and shame, so facts and opinions that contradict them are ignored or rationalized away. Anything that threatens to burst the fantasy bubble is met with extreme defensiveness and even rage, so those around the narcissist learn to tread carefully around their denial of reality."

7. One of the comments on the twitter feed....

Trump's reaction to everything seeing the light of day doesn't suggest an innocent mind.

Morally, ethically bankrupt..me

[Arkansas Granny]

11. IMO, Trump never wanted the job of being President. He only wanted the power and prestige.

[Thomas Hurt]

12. Still haven't figured out that he is a fn sociopath eh?

[Maeve]

13. He lives in an amoral universe

And it revolves around himself alone.

[FakeNoose]

16. Of course he doesn't get it

That's why he had the conversation with President Zelensky with other people listening on the line. They heard everything, but so what! That's why he released the "verbatim" transcripts that illustrated the entire scope of the shakedown.

He truly believes he can do no wrong. He's above the law. His universe has no morals, except whatever HE and VLADIMIR PUTIN want is the only right thing. That's his universe.

[leftyladyfrommo]

18. He was just doing business as usual.

That's what he has always done. Must have been a huge shock to find out that was a real no no for a president.

He's just totally oblivious to life in the real world. He is ok with anything that works no matter how immoral or illegal. I heard him say one time "I know it's wrong but it works ".

Anything to win.

All this trouble the last few days and he turns right around and dies exactly the same thing with the NRA. Help pay for my legal defense and I will help with gun legislation.

He is just unbelievably obtuse.

[struggle4progress]

19. For impeachment, it doesn't matter whether he's a moral cretin

I suppose, if he were in the dock at criminal court, his ability to discern right and wrong might matter

But then, if he hid the evidence (for example, on a secret server), that might establish mens rea

20. Maru Opinion: WGAF? Lock his ass up and let

The psychiatrist tell us all about it later.
