This reminds me of one of those courtroom scenarios in which a judge determines that the accused is unable to assist in his own defense. Any lawyer worth his fee would tell Trump to stop tweeting or at least choose his words more carefully.

But Trump, a man who thinks himself to be the brightest person in any room, seems tone-deaf to any suggestion he wasn’t bright enough to come up with on his own. As such, it’s only a matter of time before he incriminates himself.

As his haircut reminds us, he trusts no one. He is truly alone.
