When it comes to picking great people to endorse for public office, Trump has an unrivaled record failure - as the midterm elections illustrated. Aside from his long list of other psychopathologies, Trump has always been an absolute sucker for anyone who is willing to praise him, either to his face, or in public - and that even includes people who were once willing to tell the truth about him, and rake him over the coals. JD Vance a perfect case in point.
How Vance became worse than the "monster" he despised.
Trump's fragile ego and deep seeded insecurities, have made him ripe fruit for manipulation, not only by those close to him in his own administration, but by foreign leaders as well. This debilitating personality defect makes him nothing less than a marionette, whose strings are all too easy to yank in any direction. People like
Un, bin Salman, Putin, et al, can play Trump like a fiddle, getting whatever concessions they might want, convincing him of their false intentions. All they have to do to take him for a ride is to
praise him, like fawning obsequious sycophants, and he will be theirs to toy with as they please.
