Trump lacks the capacity to feel guilt. Remember when he was running, and a reporter asked him if he ever prayed for foregiveness ....he was puzzled by the mere suggestion, and said that no, he didn't, because he has done nothing wrong in his life. While "normal" people do not want their worst behaviors made public, they are certainly aware that they have from time to time done things they aren't proud of.

Trump's blaming Perry is a classic example of what investigators and prosecutors look for. In any criminal case, the attempt to blame a scapgoat is proof positive that they are aware that society frowns upon a given behavior, and that the individual is attempted to, at very least, dillute their responsibility.
