I'd say that it's likely due to his ego, having to go against what his advisors give him, but that would mean his advisors give him good advice, which I doubt.

So yeah, it's a mystery.

Growing up, and later in life, he got attention without consequences for negative behavior but the behavior has to be bad enough to get the full attention of all the audience. Good to moderately bad behavior gets ignored or just passing notice. People are still talking about the Obama birther thing, for example.

that shows the Idiot-in-Chief standing tall (in his shoe lifts ) and says:

Stand with President Trump Against ANTIFA

Once again! He is 100% wrong!

Viewed in the light of what Putin is paying him to do, suddenly his decisions make perfect sense.

He made them for the wrong fucking reasons; even when he is right, he is wrong.

of any advice she got. Even if her choice was dangerous. There is a section of KCMO in the southeast that is really dangerous. It's the inner city and it's pretty much controlled by gangs, drug dealers, low lifes. I made a comment one time that she shouldn't drive over there because no one should drive over there. So. Of course, off she went. In a car that broke down daily . She could hardly walk and used a cane, no phone. Fortunately she survived but no sane person would have gone in the 1st place.

It's some kind of mental thing.

Trump could have been a champion if he had grabbed the virus thing early and played the oart of the noble knight riding to the rescue. Instead he did the opposite

Doesn't make sense. Even if you take greed and Putin out of the picture.

to do what he wants.

It fails.

He blames the person he hired.

Now he says he will just do it his way to begin with.

His numbers are diving. Because he always does exactly the wrong thing. So he has to blame bad luck. Since he was the cause of the bad luck that probably isn't going to go over very well.
