2. The triumph of the arrogant mediocracy over skill and common sense.

These two are so aggressively incompetent and boorish. And Lewandowski is illegally clinging to this "job" long after its term expired (he's only temporary). Why do they need a plane with a private bedroom anyway?

I'm glad the pilot stood up for his crew and also pointed out the consequences of this temper tantrum. I certainly hope he's not going to be disciplined now.

Something Mary Trump said about her uncle applies to most of his minions-- they have no shame because they have no empathy. And the lack of shame and empathy together is a sign of sociopathy. Most of us would be ashamed to have a temper tantrum because WE left our possessions behind. Most of us would be ashamed of making ridiculous demands to turn around and fly back for a blanket. Most of us would empathize with the crew who were being berated by a nasty thuggish predator.

But most of us wouldn't serve in Trump's administration.
