Trump's very, very scary lack of attention to simple details; he has shown this over and over and over again

He gets in his head with some rage over wh**ever and is blind, just wanting to vent no matter how stupid he looks. After getting news about what Cohen said, he walks off AF1 with his limousine right at the bottom of the steps off the plane and he walks past it, looking for his ride or to find Cohen in the crowd somewhere and strangle him. The Secret Service had to point him back to the obvious.
A president so overwhelmingly controlled by his own thoughts and emotions is a danger to our nation. The Right thinks nothing of this troubling characteristic. If he is criticized for some glaring gaff, misspelling, or confusion about where he is ("Just got back from the Middle East" as he arrives in Israel from Egypt, he confused the Baltic states in Europe with the Balkans—and chastised leaders of the former for starting wars in the 1990s that lead to the break-up of Yugoslavia), they are just h**ers. But such attention-deficit is dangerous in the grand scheme of things.
Maybe it is unfair to ask how many of you would confuse "council" with "counsel," which Trump has done on more than one occasion.
Another one. As linguist Ben Zimmer noted last year, "big league" is usually used as an adjective, so it was a bit strange to hear Trump use it as an adverb, like when he said he would "cut taxes big-league." What's the big deal? Bad grammar, ho-hum.
Trump aroused plenty of anger during the campaign when he frequently referred to certain minority groups as "the b****s," "the gays," "the Muslims," and "the Hispanics." The little word "the" seemed to make all the difference, drawing the scorn of v**ers around the country. Many claimed it made him sound prejudiced to the groups he was talking about. As linguist Eric Acton told Business Insider last year, using the word "the" in front of the name of a group allows people to distance themselves from the group in question while highlighting their differences. (Hmmm, no mention of "the W****s.")
Trump has rankled members of the military by referring to them as "my military" and "my generals." One flap came in October, when Trump told reporters that when it came to the deadly military mission in Niger, "my generals and my military, they have decision-making ability." Leon Panetta, the former defense secretary and director of the CIA, said he found the phrasing offensive for suggesting a misguided sense of ownership over the armed forces. "When it comes to the military, the military belongs to the country," he said in April. "Our defense system belongs to the country. And it's not the president's military, it's the military of the United States of America."
Here is Trump at his zero attention-span, brain-reach-fail best. In September, at an event with African leaders, Trump twice referred to the fictitious nation of "Nambia."
Great Evangelical Trump, great lover of what is that book called again, says to Liberty College students, a Bible book he described as "Two Corinthians." No one even distantly familiar with Christianity would not know it is "Second Corinthians." You see that as a small mistake? Of course.
Now we have another: Trump cannot spell "smoking." Shortly after Fox News aired this, “Democrats can’t find their smoking gun to tie the Trump campaign to Russia after James Comey’s testimony,” Trump tweeted:
Donald J. Trump

“Democrats can’t find a Smocking Gun tying the Trump campaign to Russia after James Comey’s testimony. No Smocking Gun...No Collusion.” @FoxNews That’s because there was NO COLLUSION. So now the Dems go to a simple private t***saction, wrongly call it a campaign contribution,...
Scary to think that any supposedly educated person could not spell "smoking": how hard is that? And then misspell it twice. And not his errors. His anger overtakes his thinking. Enticed to rant by Fox News, he is helpless to his emotional tides.
