I once had a conversation with a Trump biographer about Gorka. We discussed how Trump is a magnet for sketchy characters and those of questionable competency. It’s not just that like attracts like, but also that Trump’s toxic combination of insecurity and ego make it impossible for him assess other people beyond how they fulfill his immediate needs. The men and women who typically form his inner circle, in turn, bring along equally dubious characters.
And that’s how you wind up with people like Carter Page trying to make grand bargains with Russian officials.
Good times.
