Mr. Trump has said he will not attend this year’s dinner. No matter if the facts currently contradict him, Mr. Trump appears to have convinced himself that he will be proved correct — always — in the future. * BONUS: Mr. Trump asserts in this passage that Mr. Napolitano had “three sources” for a claim about British intelligence conducting surveillance on Trump Tower. Mr. Trump is no exception, and this passage shows his willingness to rely on the same positive jobs numbers that he frequently dismissed as a candidate. But his response at the end of this interview also shows how Mr. Trump’s mind works: His victory in November is the last word in the success of his administration.
