Trump Is Too Trusting for Washington, Say Former Aides

Lets say, hypothetically, something like this was said, former Trump aide Sam Nunberg told me. In the context I know the president, he doesnt realize the implications of what he was doing or what he was saying or how it could be interpreted.
Nunberg was discussing the news that Donald Trump had possibly obstructed justice by asking FBI Director James Comey to stop his investigation into his national security adviser, Michael Flynn just one of the many earth-shattering, axis-turning revelations about the administration to trickle out in the several days since Trump fired Comey.
An adviser to Trump in the years before he became president, Nunberg worked alongside him in his 26th-floor Trump Tower office to plan his hostile takeover of the American political system that few, at the time, thought was serious.
Now, observing the chaotic administration from the outside, he like so many longtime Trump confidantes sees a president he feels is being let down by his staff and misinterpreted by the world. To hear them tell it, Trump is just being himself, and the standards were holding him to no longer apply to the leader of the free world. And to make matters worse, Trump someone comforted by familiar faces and surroundings has lost his bearings in Washington.
Nunberg suggested that, if what Comeys memo says is true, perhaps Trump had just misread their relationship. I get the impression from the tone of this, from what Comey said in these memos, it sounded like he thought Comey was his friend, he said. And I dont understand why he would think that.
I think you can hear his earnestness in the alleged quotations, another former adviser to the president, who requested anonymity, said. And you can hear in his voice that hes just being himself. If he did this, and I dont know that he did it, but if he did this, Im certain its just he didnt realize it. He wasnt thinking like a lawyer, you know? And I think he probably didnt realize he was doing anything wrong, if he did................

Either he's a crook and should be impeached or too stupid and should be impeached.
