One of the great secrets of successful institutions is that people are loyal to institutions that are loyal to them.
If that pact gets broken at one end then it gets broken at both...
This brings me to Donald J Trump.
Earlier this week the 45th President sent out one of his trademark insults on his “Truth Social” platform.
The target of his ire was not any Democrat or American-hater.
It was Kayleigh McEnany, his former White House press secretary.
“Kayleigh ‘Milktoast’ McEnany just gave out the wrong poll numbers on FoxNews,” said Trump. “I am 34 points up on DeSanctimonious, not 25 up. While 25 is great, it’s not 34,” he went on.
Trump did not bother lingering over the facts. Because that was not his point. His point was to humiliate...
But here’s what is remarkable about this latest brain fart from Trump.
McEnany is hugely respected, not least among Trump’s base.
They remember what an outstanding White House press secretary she was.
On the podium, in front of an almost entirely hostile media, she held her own month after month...
She did so with grace and humor as well as coolness under fire.
Throughout all this, she was outstandingly loyal to Trump...
she wasn’t one of those who left his administration and then attacked him.
So why did her former boss have to turn on her like this, to insult her as “Milktoast” (when she is anything but) and as not a “star” (which she most certainly is)?
The answer is – like Aesop’s fable about the scorpion – because that’s what Trump is.
He attacks those who have been loyal to him because it is his nature. He can’t help himself.
He demands 100% loyalty from everyone around him but is incapable of loyalty in return.

McEnany was disloyal. Cuomo was loyal.
The squealers be squealin’ again.
LOL cruel
Trump will be our next president.
Trump/Cuomo 2024!
She must have done something or said something. He liked her. Why didn’t he offer her a good paying job and keep her on his staff. He don’t like where she went to work I guess.
General Washington, your negative comment about Benedict Arnold clearly indicates that you are unfit to be President.
Ooooh, poor Kayleigh...She’s not so innocent.
Still voting Trump.
Gay dude from the UK. Stick with merry old England lad.
She was the most loyal to him.
How was she disloyal?
Do you have a citation?
lol, the headline itself drips with hate. Its another “SQUIRRL!”
She allegedly gave the wrong poll numbers. She said he was leading DeSantis, but Trump thought he was leading by more.
Donald Trump will be our next president. Again. Kayleigh can handle herself. Besides, what is she doing working at the station that fired Tucker Carlson? Sounds like she's the disloyal one.
Murdoch, worshipper of Moloch, speaks.
Post is full DeSantis... yawn...
Anyone surprised or disappointed by the way Trump behaves hasn’t been paying attention for all of the decades he’s been a public figure. At the end of the day, the only real question that matters is: can he beat Biden in 2024? If yes, if he puts together his own effective ballot-harvesting mechanism and DeSantis doesn’t, Trump has my primary vote. I’m not going to be working for him - I’m trying to see if he’d be the best person to have working for me in the WH.
