  • I find his behaviour and motivations very difficult to follow.

    He wants to be loved, which makes a fair number of bad politicians do bad things because it's more important to them at any one time to please the people in the room than the people they made a contradictory promise five minutes ago in a different room. He also wants to be seen as this century's Winston Churchill - the "glorious hero" fantasy version - so he's not willing to go out in defeat.

  • His entire journalistic and political career has been based on lying, stealing ideas and never taking responsibility. Which worked really well in combination with his various personality disorders/corruption/being subject to blackmail until the point where the buck actually stops with him.
