Heidi Przybyla: Trump ‘Has This Almost Fetish’ with Generals and CEOs

‘He’s attracted to that power’

EXCERPT:

PRZYBYLA: “It’s not that they can’t get along. CEOs get along all of the time. Senior executives, boards, these relationships, but the key thing here is that Donald Trump — why does Donald Trump have this almost fetish with CEOs, generals, these very powerful men. He’s attracted to that power. But once they’re within his orbit and within his control, you see some very cutting and very unusual behavior behind the scenes and also in the public with these tweets to kind of undercut them, emasculate them almost. Also, on the issues, why have a secretary of state? It seems like he’s undercut Tillerson on almost — go down the ledger of the issues, whether it be North Korea, Iran, of all of the reporting that we have is that he undercuts him and he resents him when Tillerson prevails, such as in the instance of the increase in troops in Afghanistan. The reporting is that Trump resented that.”
