Trump is the classic combination: coward and thug.

Trump’s approach to Stone is classic Trump cowardice

He could pardon Stone. But he would have to own that—to do it himself & face the reaction

He’s the guy who never fires anyone himself. He makes thugs do it

Barr’s his thug. Trump makes him do it—& breaks DOJ in the process

recognize this type of personality! Trust me...I know it all too well.

The kind of manager that loves to play "tough guy" by pushing his subordinates around on a regular basis, but when it comes to actually making decisions and owning them, will quickly move to a "CYA", or hide behind THEIR superior's power like Mommy's skirt!
