Axios assessment


A number of people who’ve discussed election meddling with Trump, including current senior administration officials, say his brain can’t process that collusion and cyberattacks are two different things.

  Axios
Yes he can. He's fooling them. He's simply focusing on the collusion because he thinks that can't be proven and avoiding - or dismissing outright - the Russian cyberattacks. They were done on his behalf. He's not going to admit it.
Trump seems constitutionally incapable of taking anything Mueller finds seriously.
He takes it very seriously. It has him panicked. That's why he continually tries to brand it a witch hunt and make people doubt it's veracity and seriousness.
He views the entire exercise as a "witch hunt" cooked up by Democrats and Deep State conspirators to undermine his election win.
No he doesn't. He wants YOU to view it that way.

Yes, he's a whackjob.  But he's a dangerous, sociopathic whackjob who is beholden to the Russian mob and totally self-interested.
Ego prevents him acknowledging the possibility that any external action could have interfered with his glorious victory.
Now that's probably true.
The handful of White House staff we have privately communicated with since today’s press conference are not proud of the man they work for. But he doesn't expect any to resign.
Begging the question: why are they still working for him?
