Now we discover out why.
See, the important thing to working out what Trump does — or does not do — is to this: The entirety is only transactional.
Trump does now not function on a scale of morality. He’s solely pushed in his day by day decision-making by way of what he perceives to be excellent for him. Other folks — and relationships — are only a method to that finish.
Which brings us again to McCarthy — and to Trump’s judgment that the Area GOP chief is value extra to him politically alive than politically lifeless.
Trump is aware of that if he unleashed his fury on McCarthy for announcing something in public and any other in non-public that he may virtually unquestionably finish the California Republican’s aspiration to be speaker of the Area.
That reality will, in Trump’s mind-set, make certain that McCarthy by no means crosses him — in public or non-public — once more. McCarthy owes his political long term — or the opportunity of even having a long term — to Trump. And Trump will make certain that McCarthy by no means, ever forgets that.
The Level: At all times needless to say Trump sees everybody — EVERYONE — as a pawn to be performed to learn him. McCarthy simply passed him a call for participation to just do that.
