The deconstruction of governance that Trump is bringing about is not totally under Trump’s control. It’s like a guy pushing a large rock at the top of a hill that then rolls downwards - somewhere along the way the rock causes a landslide.

Trump is not dumb, unlike some may portray him. He’s just ultra-narcissistic so when he speaks in public everything has to be about himself. His low language skills in public-speaking are, I think, in part an act, as he knows his marks are among the least educated of the populace.

Trump knows that the more noise he can throw into the legal system in this country the more likely this noise can disrupt any specific action pointed at himself.

In other words, Trump’s tweets attacking Comey are not just the rantings of a wounded animal. They are also an attempt to mess up the works (of the judicial system) so much that Trump can provide cover for himself and his friends, merely by causing so much confusion and in-fighting among the many vested interests in our society.

This is the real cost of Trump for this country - devaluing trust in our legal system and courts, in in devaluing the general comity in the polity.

So you’re saying that it’s actually a Bug in a Trump-suit? We all know they thrive on chaos!
