Why can’t Trump realize that it makes him look weak and gullible following what Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh want?

In the eyes of his followers, it does not.

Trump can’t even realize he is being manipulated by the extreme right.
His ego won’t let him.

Coulter, Hannity, and Limbaugh are the only friends he has left.

Hey @elbanditoroso don’t forget about his dear friend Putin.^^^^^

Your question assumes he spends time in contemplation, time actually thinking over the pros and cons. He doesn’t. He just reacts to who ever is pulling his strings at the moment.

^^I despised him enough not to want him to succeed. Hard pill to swallow wanting this particular President to succeed.

But he is President and he is missing out on actually being one.

A real President would end this shutdown and then move on to border issues.

I wish he had upended all of our expectations of what kind of president he would be, before he was elected. But just the opposite happened. It is even worse than we could have imagined.

Less than 24 months till the next election
You could just about stand on your head for 24 months

A LOT of damage can be caused in 24 months…
