text: At what point is it going to dawn on people that Trump is just carrying on being Trump? Being president just gives him a bigger stage to Trump from. The tweets aren't some master plan, they are Trump reveling in his millions of followers. Pundits say that as president, Trump must learn that words have consequences. Is it not clear that Trump cares about only one thing, and that thing is self-aggrandizement? He keeps every magazine cover he appears on, regardless of the story. He was against outlawing CFCs to save the ozone layer because non-CFC hairspray didn't work as well. Now he tweets baseless accusations and forces his administration to burn through dwindling credibility like kindling backing it up. Trump is incapable of exiting his illusion of being smartest, most handsome, most knowledgeable man on earth. When the noise surrounding his collapsing presidency gets to bothersome, he fires off another few tweets and holds another rally, the better to bask in deserved adulation. Sad.
