Trump’s first few days in the White House have been tumultuous, and not just because he’s so upset about his inauguration numbers being less-than record-setting that he had his press secretary flat-out lie about them. His aides have revealed that his thin skin is making things difficult, and because of that, presidential historian Douglas Brinkley has weighed in with something rather embarrassing for a man obsessed with numbers and image:
“[H]e can never let go and stop watching cable TV. Now he’s off to the worst start of a presidency in a very long time.” [emphasis mine]
The worst. In a very long time. Those are words Trump won’t want to hear, seeing as how he thinks he is the best and has the best of absolutely everything. An expert calling him the worst at anything just burns.
Brinkley believes Trump had a successful inauguration despite his numbers being lower than expected, and he should have built on that. However, given that he’s so quick to anger when someone—anyone—makes him look bad to the world, he fixates on that instead of real issues and real work, and it’s causing huge problems. Sources within the White House revealed that his aides have to control what information he’s exposed to:
“One person who frequently talks to Trump said aides have to push back privately against his worst impulses in the White House, like the news conference idea, and have to control information that may infuriate him. He gets bored and likes to watch TV, this person said, so it is important to minimize that.”
