Trump's character flaws

If you ever need the view from the Left, just head over to Salon. If there is a point to be missed, they will be the little tree at the end of the runway (i.e. everything goes over their heads).

For example, this is their latest piece of news, "'He’s never going to admit he’s wrong in front of everyone': President Trump’s aides are worried about his behavior":

Following Donald Trump’s first days as president, reports are coming out that some White House insiders are troubled by his in-office behavior.

One anonymous insider who frequently talks with Trump told Politico his aides are often afraid of saying no to him due to his notorious unwillingness to look bad.

“You can’t do it in front of everyone,” the insider said. “He’s never going to admit he’s wrong in front of everyone. You have to pull him aside and tell him why he’s wrong, and then you can get him to go along with you. These people don’t know how to get him to do what they need him to do.”

Really? And who exactly responds well to being called wrong in front of a group of people? There is a Management 101 lesson, whereby you NEVER criticize one of your employees in front of the entire group. All you do is make them defensive. Any point you want to make will get lost in the subsequent embarrassment they will feel.

Criticizing your boss is likely to get an even worse reaction.

Whoever this person is, they have no business overseeing anyone anywhere, let alone advising a president.

Back to the story:

This insider also told Politico that Trump “gets bored and likes to watch TV,” so it’s important for his aides to check his tendency to respond impulsively when angered, as well as control what information reaches him and is taken seriously. 

I could have told you this just by how he acted on the campaign trail. Where was this "insider" for the past year?

A more accurate headline for this Salon piece would be: "Trump is human and thin-skinned: Things we missed during the campaign".
