Donald Trump is a narcissistic egomaniac. He won’t change. The European leaders trying to work with him are dealing with an irresponsible toddler in an adult’s body.

I hate saying this, but European leaders should start acting like they’re on their own and start thinking of the Republican Party like a hostile foreign political entity and its donors like Al Quaeda bank-rollers.
