Donald Trump, as we know, loves being unpredictable. It gives him more freedom to change positions on a dime, and it keeps him at the center of attention. Both of those things are very important to him.
But what about his employees and hangers-on? How difficult must it be to have to completely change your story with a straight face day after day? Even the Fox News crowd must be a little bit embarrassed to argue that family separation is necessary one day, and then to hail Trump for putting an end to it the next.
He’s already starting to feel the effects of his lack of credibility; the superconservatives in the House won’t vote for an immigration bill he claims to support, because they simply don’t believe he will keep his word and give them cover against primary opponents screaming about “amnesty.”
Poor babies. My heart bleeds for them, and him.
