Unhinged

Trump told advisers that he wants Attorney General Jeff Sessions to have [Omarosa] Manigault Newman arrested, according to one Republican briefed on the conversations. (It’s unclear what law Trump believes she broke.) Another Republican recounted how over the weekend Trump derailed a midterm-election strategy session to rant about Manigault Newman’s betrayal. In an effort to change the narrative, the White House announced yesterday that Trump had revoked former C.I.A. director John Brennan’s security clearance. But that only ignited a new public-relations crisis. A former West Wing official [said,] "It’s a “death spiral.”

If only.

“He’s known her for 15 years and thinks it’s a personal betrayal,” [a] former West Wing official said. Others said Manigault Newman’s well-oiled media rollout ignited Trump’s fury. “She is doing everything perfect if her ultimate goal is to troll Trump,” another former official said. One longtime Trump friend said Trump is so reactive to Manigault Newman’s book because he instinctively trusts women more than men. Throughout his career, he has allowed women to get close to him, from his early assistant, Norma Foerderer, to Rhona Graff, to Hope Hicks.

That's a very naive reading of why he has women close to him. He doesn't trust them more. He trusts his ability to stay on top of them. It's because he thinks he can control women. He doesn't see them as people likely to best him or compete successfully with him. Abusive men don't typically have any close relationships, personal or professional, with other men, unless they're men seen as much weaker. Trump is a textbook bully.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
