The Donald: Nutbag? No. But Close.

In behavior which was predictable, The Donald has gone wacko-nutbag vis-a-vis Jeff Sessions.

Predictable?  Yes; that's from his real-estate-developer and TV producer background.  These are occupations very friendly to a "my way or the highway" business approach, because they are small businesses which depend on the talent and wits of the principal to survive and prosper.  IOW, megalomaniacs are just fine,.

But the Gummint ain't a small business dependent on the President's persona.  And--much as most of us would like to see it happen--the Gummint ain't going to turn around and behave, or wither away, just because The Donald waves his magic red hat and chants "MAGA MAGA MAGA."

Further, The Donald has to share a spotlight with other players, whether he likes it or not.  And he does NOT like it.  Megalomaniacs don't share.

So he "acts out," and--to no one's surprise--"acts out" like a spoiled child.

It is probably true that if one wants a friend in DC one should buy a dog.  But it does not help if one starts machine-gunning allies, too.  So now we'll get to see Teh Stupid in action. 

The benefit?  We won't pay as much attention to McConnell, who is slime-bagging as his nature demands.
