CNN’s Cillizza: When There Are Fewer People Around Him to Manage Him, Trump’s Tweets Are ‘More Trumpian’

‘He knows how to stoke his base’

EXCERPT:

CILLIZZA: "He knows how to stoke his base. He knows how to move attention. Obviously, this coming less than 24 hours after the news about Michael Flynn. And I think he’s doing all of those things at once. We know from past Thanksgivings and past holidays, Donald Trump’s tweets, when there are less people around him to sort of manage that tend to be more Trumpian. I mean, tend to be a little bit less — not that they are ever terribly perfectly formed as a president, but tend to be more private citizen Trump offering thoughts on things, and this is consistent with that.”
