Trump keeps creating his own personal hell

When he feels backed into a corner, he lashes out in politically inadvisable ways that often makes his life much more difficult. But he can’t seem to stop doing it.

  • .. 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.

.. But making the scope public is like a buffer for Mueller’s job security — and it could act as a buffer to try to save the president from himself.
