(5,730 posts)To do that, sell himself. That's what he's done all his life, so he can easily revert to it, in his long term memory.
Being president: He can't do that, and it is painful for him, unless he structures it to get praise, like his N Korea like Cabinet Meeting
Plus, his short term memory is getting worse, making it hard to learn and understand new, complex problems.

(146,286 posts)He knows that he is President only on a technicality. The job is too much for him, already, and he can't figure out what he's going to do as it gets even tougher.
He's haunted by Hillary Clinton. She's got him by the mind, what there is of it.

(13,390 posts)it's an effective strategy to remind the rabid Clinton haters that it "could have been worse."

(11,579 posts)She's a strong woman.
She is more intelligent than Trumpsky.
Her family consists of intelligent people.
She is healthier than Trumpsky.
She has more stamina than Trumpsky.
She is well-liked all over the world unlike Trumpsky.
In spite of all the fake news about her launched during the primary she remained popular and easily won the popular vote.
She is still popular.
She is committed to doing good deeds that benefit people as her life's mission.
She is still alive.
She makes Trumpsky look like the dangerous fool he is.
She is not under investigation, but Trumpsky is.
He is worried she might run against him again and her e-mails just don't seem so darned scary after everything we have learned about Trumpsky.

(21,646 posts)With thoughts of Hillary agitating them they never think of his actions unless of course he brings them up in a positive way
Yeah they willing are that stupid and brainwash ed

(28,749 posts)It's certainly working.
It's also a very "Russian" tactic: divide the house against itself, so it cannot stand (to reverse-paraphrase Lincoln). Putin's boys got the ball rolling with this tactic during the primaries last year, and voters in the U.S. took to the game like old hands. Everyone wants to play, to the further Balkanization of...everything.

She's intelligent, more than capable, tough and strong and would be a far better President than he can ever hope to be. A Hillary Clinton presidency would outshine the current one by light years.

(62,406 posts)There are of course many reasons, but you have to give a nod to his misogyny that is probably only beaten by his racism.
We also see him kicking Warren and Pelosi whenever he can.

(332 posts)He can go on camera and Twitter pretending he's all tough and strong, BUT...something is eating him up inside about the election and his actual losing to Hillary. And that will be one of many things to devour him .

Divide the house against itself, so it cannot stand (apologies to Lincoln). The Russians got the ball rolling with this tactic during the primaries last year. Nobody wins this game, but it pays terrific dividends to the string-pullers at the top, starting with Putin and #45.
