You don't become successful in a city like NYC by being a good guy, you do it by being cutthroat. I'm not saying successful people are always bad people, of course. I mean, he hasn't exactly lived out of the public eye up until this point.
As an aside, from what I can tell he seems to not realize the power of his words as President, or the consequences of certain actions in the realm of politics.
After taking credit for good things happening he had nothing to do with, I nautrally wonder how much credit he will take if things don't pan out as he plans.
The buck stops with him, I don't think that has fully sunk in during this past 90 days or so of his adminstration.
And everyone around him knows this and wouldn't hesitate to say "don't f*ing do it, the media will crucify you if you do and they hear about it"
Trump also doesn't have a good relationship with the intelligence agencies.
There's two sides to the coin. I think the fact that Trump does not have a good working relationship with these agencies is probably a good thing.
