In another time, in a different circumstance, there would perhaps be room to pity such a person.Peter Wehner: The most revealing answer from Donald Trumps interview with Fox News Channels Chris Wallace came in response not to the toughest question posed by Wallace, but to the easiest. At the conclusion of the interview, Wallace asked Trump how he will regard his years as president.
Said Trump: I think I was very unfairly treated. From before I even won, I was under investigation by a bunch of thieves, crooks. It was an illegal investigation.
When Wallace interrupted, trying to get Trump to focus on the positive achievements of his presidencyWhat about the good parts, sir?Trump brushed the question aside, responding, Russia, Russia, Russia. The president then complained about the Flynn investigation, the Russia hoax, the Mueller scam and the recusal by his then-attorney general, Jeff Sessions.
Donald Trump is a psychologically broken, embittered, and deeply unhappy man. He is so gripped by his grievances, such a prisoner of his resentments, that even the most benevolent question from an interviewerwhat good parts of your presidency would you like to be remembered for?triggered a gusher of discontent.
