Heilemann: Trump Can’t Even Discipline Himself When His Own Skin Is at Stake

EXCERPT:

HEILEMANN: "We have confirmation hearings for a couple of big jobs but it’s not — the combination of a long and sustained stretch of anticipated economic volatility and chaos matched with a long stretch of little or nothing happening on the legislative front leads almost inexorably towards what people have been expecting, which is Republicans getting hammered at the midterms, and yet President Trump does not seem to even in the most self-interested way look at that as the potential consequence he’s facing. You would think that would discipline his behavior to some extent knowing that a Democratic-controlled House of Representatives would pose an existential threat to his presidency, might bring on impeachment hearings and so on, and yet he can’t even discipline himself with his own skin at stake in this game.”
