Political suicide

(To commit ): to do anything and everything possible to sabotage your own political future.

Making stupid mistakes and decisions during your political campaign, even before your gain the office you are running for, is also considered political suicide

political-suicide psychology

An act common to politicians with sociopathic, narcissistic and self-deceptive personality features fueled by a profoundly self-aggrandizing perspective that distorts even the prospect of failure into a necessary superlative; resulting in highly self-destructive behavior as required to validate equally delusional thinking.

Press: 'Did you ever think that the only people saving you from impeachment would be your own staff--for FAILING to follow your orders?'
POTUS: 'Listen. Nobody knows more about failing than I do, believe me. I'm the best at failing, just ask anyone; I'm the greatest at failing that's ever lived and I'm going to prove it...'

History: Does he ever actually listen to the crazy shit that comes out of his hole? Isn't it the objective to make decisions and policy using unbiased, verifiable evidence and in accordance with established governmental procedures within the Constitutional framework? Only the influence of political-suicide psychology could be responsible for such a distorted perspective of reality...we need to do better.
