Source: The Hill
"Normally, newly elected presidents enjoy a wave of goodwill that allows them to fly high at least through their first 100 days. Donald Trump has not been sworn in, and the honeymoon has already come and gone.
<snip>
(Trumps) need to dominate every news cycle feeds an almost compulsive tweet habit, he said. "It has placed him just about continuously at the center of the national conversation, and not always to his benefit.
Krauthammer added Trump had not improved some of the flaws from his at times wild 2016 presidential bid.
Nothing negative goes unanswered because, for Trump, an unanswered slight has the air of concession or surrender, he said.
Finally, its his chronic indiscipline, his jumping randomly from one subject to another without rhyme, reason or larger strategy.

(56,828 posts)His politics may be terrible, but he's been right on Trump.
This is from August:

This is beyond narcissism. I used to think Trump was an 11-year-old, an undeveloped schoolyard bully. I was off by about 10 years. His needs are more primitive, an infantile hunger for approval and praise, a craving that can never be satisfied. He lives in a cocoon of solipsism where the world outside himself has value indeed exists only insofar as it sustains and inflates him.
And, here is Trump calling Krauthammer a loser back in 2015 in response to some negative comments:

(14,853 posts)I don't care for Krauthammer's conservative positions, but at least he recognized Trump is dangerous.
He expressed distrust of Trump with the nuclear codes during this discussion with O'Reilly months ago (at about the 8-minute mark):

(22,800 posts)His mocking of Obama's farewell address in this column is beyond disgusting. Krauthammer is a partisan hack, in the same vein as George Will. Much like Will, every criticism of the GOP must be followed by an even harsher and irrelevant, attack on the Democratic Party.
