Trump is "clueless what any of this means internationally or historically," senior adviser says [View all]

From CNN's Jim Acosta

President Trump has yet to grasp the magnitude of the damage being done to his standing in American history and the nation's place on the world stage resulting from his second impeachment and actions surrounding the Capitol siege, a senior Trump adviser said.

Based on conversations the adviser has had with Trump since Jan. 6, the adviser said the President is "clueless what any of this means internationally or historically."

Trump has told aides and advisers he does fear what the violence at the Capitol has done to his businesses.

"Yes, he is worried about the long-term brand," the adviser said.
The adviser said there is a real possibility that Trump could end up "broke" based on his accumulation of debt and the stain on the Trump brand.

That is something the President fears, the adviser added.
