You can understand Trump better if you read up on Lyndon Johnson or if you visit any local dog park. A primary aim of his social interactions is to establish dominance over other men. Look at how he has demeaned Chris Christie (even making fat jokes) and taunted his former opponents after they endorsed him.
You don’t get to be Trump’s partner. Join him, and you become his manservant.
If you’re a conservative policy wonk, and you think you’re in a partnership with Trump, get in line. Get in line behind the employees he stiffed, the creditors he left hanging, the students at Trump University he fleeced. Get in line behind the first two women with whom he exchanged vows.
Trump doesn’t see these deals-gone-sour as regrettable. He sees them as victories. Trump is always out to get the better of everyone else.
