No one dare even say, “Sir (of course) have you considered….” if he takes any advice at all.

There are the flippant childlike tantrums and crazy overreaching EO’s then there are the face plant embarrassing stunts:
Turning the White House into a car dealership
The California water “valve”
The gotcha document with Powell at the Fed.

No one can stop him and he often circles back (as he does) to punch down after these WINS!
