Sometimes it’s so obvious you have to slap yourself.

It’s about his inability to deal with the word NO

That’s the core.
Trump cannot tolerate boundaries.
Trump cannot accept limits.
TRump cannot coexist with independent minds.

In a healthy leader, No becomes:

• a check on power,

• a chance to rethink,

• a moment to recalibrate.

In Trump, No becomes:

• a personal humiliation,

• a declaration of war,

• an existential threat.

And so anyone who doesn’t bend becomes “seditious.”
Not because they betrayed America —
but because they stopped serving him.

Trump’s worldview reduces everything to one axis: obedience vs. disobedience

For Trump:

• Loyalty is not a principle — it’s a transaction.

• Authority is not a responsibility — it’s a possession.

• Saying “no” is not disagreement — it’s insubordination.

• Independent action is not initiative — it’s threat.

This is why he attacks:

• generals who refuse unlawful orders,

• judges who follow the law instead of his preferences,

• vice presidents who honor their oath,

• former allies who simply stop doing his bidding.

It’s also why he uses inflated language like treason, enemy, betrayer, traitor, saboteur.
Not because the acts are treasonous — but because the ego injury feels that extreme to him.

And the evidence really has been there the whole time

The pattern started decades ago in business:
fire, smear, blame, isolate, punish — anyone who resists.

It continued in government:
Sessions, Mattis, Kelly, Barr, Pence, Milley — all loyal until they weren’t.

It’s on full display now:
Not a constitutional commentary, but psychological fragility.

Once you understand this framework, Trump’s behavior stops being mysterious.
It’s predictable.
It’s consistent.
And it’s dangerous precisely because it makes normal disagreement impossible.
