Trump’s inability to admit an error means than rather than apologies, or even just drop the subject he is compelled to double down and make things worse. He thinks he’s a great leader like Churchill. In fact he is Neville Chamberlain, appeasing Russia rather than being strong. #TrumptheGreatAppeaser
