What Is It About Trump That He Always Seems To Listen To Or Get Advice From.....

[global1]

the wrong people? He has the ability - as president - to summon experts in all fields - to seek advice from and be educated by. However, he shuns them and listens instead to conspiracy theorists, crackpot talking heads, dictators and other criminals.

When you think of the opportunity he is squandering. He has taken the wrong path through his presidency. Any other man/woman taking the right path could have become a great president. Not him. What a failure. Some legacy he'll have.

1. He doesn't seek advice. The Second Coming, Chosen One and King of Israel knows all.

4. He Didn't Come Up With Buying Greenland On His Own.....

He didn't come up with the Wall gambit on his own. He didn't come up with the massive tax cut he gave to the rich and the corps on his own. etc, etc, etc as we can cite countless stupid things he's done. He's not smart enough to do this all on his own.

I don't know if it is Putin or the Repug Party or just a series of shady, misguided folks that he surrounds himself with but someone puts the little bee in his bonnet and he flies with it from there. Then his ego gets the best of him and he becomes the expert. But only a surface knowledge of any topic. He knows nothing in depth. As a result we get the chaos that he inflicts on us.

2. Simple

He is a fucking lunatic himself - there that's it.

3. Soulless people will tell him whatever he wants to hear...

He's a malignant narcissist, so that's exactly his thing. Getting what he wants for himself. He will never ever ever do anything to help someone that doesn't help himself also.

He ignores wisdom because it rarely aligns with what he wants.

[Faux pas]

5. He can't

deal with anyone who might seem to know more than he does. Crap, my cat knows more than he does.

6. Extremely poor judgement.

Also, he's an idiot. Bad combination.

7. Birds of a feather..

...known by the company they keep.

8. tRUMP has surrounded himself with the creme de la dregs...
