Week of Hell

Paul Krugman ‏@paulkrugman 2h2 hours ago

Back in the old days -- in other words, last week -- the great fear was that Trump would be normalized, wrapped in dignity of his office

Not happening. Instead, we have a sort of insecure-ego death spiral underway. Being installed by Comey and Putin, it seems, isn't enough

He wants acclaim, and can't stand any ego damage over small crowds, popular vote, Mexico not being willing to pay for wall

So he lashes out -- and each time destroys even more of the respect he craves, leading to further lashing out. All this in one week!

It's hard even to imagine what comes next. After all, this guy commands the world's most powerful military.

Maybe the Senate can pacify him by making his horse a consul, or something?
