    That's a huge question, maybe the central one. Protecting Flynn is thread linking all this together. https://twitter.com/gabrielsnyder/status/864600930607607808 …

        Yeah, I don't think it's about Flynn at all. Just his own sense of "I'm right and you're wrong."

        Simplest. Trump gets weirdly attached to people

        You assume he realizes what he did was risky.

        And or he doesn't understand the risk.

        @gabrielsnyder not really - he didn't want to fire Flynn and the guy pathologically hates doing anything he doesn't want to do

        also Flynn flattered him, the new guy talks back - he's a narcissistic moron, it doesn't require a conspiracy

        Flynn knows everything about Trump and Russia.

        I don't think he is protecting Flynn- he knows Flynn holds the key to bringing HIM down. He's protecting himself.

        Either he has to protect a dark secret, or, more likely, he just can't loose. Not even a little bit. His ego does not allow this.

        Trump has probably no sense of reality and instinct when to quit. He never had to during his TV shows. He was always the winner by script.
