Why Doesn’t Trump Ever Back Down?

So, here we are, two weeks after the FBI pulled all kinds of official documents out of Donald Trump’s house and the guy hasn’t backed down one bit. He didn’t do anything wrong; he declassified the papers before they were taken out of the White House, the Deep State is using this as an excuse to get rid of the MAGA movement, he’s going to sue everyone involved, blah, blah, blah, and blah.

This is how Trump reacts to anything that isn’t done the way he wants it to be done. He throws a tantrum, he gets his sycophants to make all kinds of stupid remarks, he threatens or actually throws a lawsuit, he’s never wrong and he never backs down.

In fact, for a guy who pretended to be the toughest law and order President of all time, a guy who went out of his way to praise the cops and slap them on the back, all of a sudden he’s become the guy who thinks and says that law enforcement agencies are all no goddamn good.

Where does this belligerent and angry stuff come from? Why is Trump the first person to occupy the Oval Office who doesn’t understand or practice the art of compromise in political terms?

And more important, why does this ‘I’m standing my ground’ narrative seem to energize and, if anything, continue to promote the MAGA brand?
