And of course it's not limited to Trump. His supporters do it to. Rush Limbaugh, Fox News both have gone on the offense as if the media is to blame for the actions of Trump. Whether it's Manafort and Gates - both of which Trump brought on or the Access Hollywood grab them by the pussy tape. To listen to Trump or his supporters, you'd think that Trump bears no responsibility for his actions but the media is evil for casting a spotlight on them.
What we've got is a victim-in-chief and his hypocrite supporters rallying around his lack of self control and personal responsibility.
Imagine growing up heir to a fortune in New York City, attending an Ivy League university, marrying a series of models, getting paid millions of dollars to host a reality-TV show, getting elected president … and then constantly casting yourself as a victim. That apparent compulsion is defining Donald Trump’s presidency.
Scarcely a week goes by without Trump whining that he has been mistreated by the media, a political rival, a TV personality, or a legislator. He is John McEnroe; the presidency is his U.S. Open. We are the crowd, transfixed in spite of ourselves by unnerving tantrums, which betray the fact that he is too volatile and too weak to master himself. His victim mentality is deepening along with Robert Mueller’s probe.

Trump voters were promised a winner who would “drain the swamp” and make America great again. What they’ve gotten instead is a serial failure who never confronts or addresses his own failings, and will therefore never remedy or overcome those failings.
“Take your life in your own hands, and what happens?” Erica Jong wrote. “A terrible thing: no one to blame.” So expect more “blame, finger-pointing, and pity parties fueled by pessimism, fear, and anger.” And wonder not that just 33 percent of Americans tell Gallup they approve of Trump’s erratic, victimhood presidency. His disordered behavior will keep on harming the country for the duration of his tenure.
