Trump keeps creating his own personal hell

Washington Post:

Until recently, the FBI's investigation had focused on Russia meddling in the presidential campaign and whether Trump's campaign helped. We knew the investigation was looking into Trump's adviser and son-in-law Jared Kushner, but we had no idea how much higher it would go. Now, the investigation has a spotlight directed entirely at the president himself.

This is the great irony for Trump, an irony he doesn't seem to have comprehended: When he feels backed into a corner, he lashes out in politically inadvisable ways that often makes his life much more difficult.

As a candidate behind in the polls, Trump lurched at Hillary Clinton in a way that gave her supporters ammunition to claim Trump wasn't supportive of women. As a president who watched health-care legislation stall in the House of Representatives, he blamed conservatives in a way that fractured his delicate relationship with Congress. When he tweeted about an impending court decision on his travel ban, a federal court used that against him.

Some of that still worked out for him, some of it hasn't.

But when the encroaching is being done by a serious and multipronged legal investigation, lashing out attracts a different set of consequences for the president: Legal ones that directly threaten him.
