But, worded more eloquently, I think that Trump's ego, insecurity, arrogance, and overall personality makes him more likely to abuse his power; especially for petty or vindictive reasons.
Not incredibly more likely. I don't think he's going to call the NSA director and ask him to spy on an ex-wife or something (probably...). I just think Obama respected the gravitas of his position more.
And everyone around him knows this and wouldn't hesitate to say "don't f*ing do it, the media will crucify you if you do and they hear about it"
Trump also doesn't have a good relationship with the intelligence agencies.
There's two sides to the coin. I think the fact that Trump does not have a good working relationship with these agencies is probably a good thing.
I don't disagree, though. I just think the media cried wolf too many times and they're not a real threat anymore.
It really comes to this: Deep down, is Trump a good guy or not? Who knows?
As an aside, from what I can tell he seems to not realize the power of his words as President, or the consequences of certain actions in the realm of politics.
After taking credit for good things happening he had nothing to do with, I nautrally wonder how much credit he will take if things don't pan out as he plans.
The buck stops with him, I don't think that has fully sunk in during this past 90 days or so of his adminstration.
Only time will tell.
Failing to understand such basic concepts would make me extremely concerned about giving the man access to anything.
