Line 273:
* [[Screw the Rules, I Have Connections]]: Subverted. He may have ''thought'' his Supreme Court appointees would side with him, but three unanimous rulings refusing to hear his voter fraud claims and another refusal to hear Texas' challenge to state voting laws show otherwise. Two of his appointees also ruled against the third challenge to the Affordable Care Act, the 7-2 ruling even having one less dissenter than the second time.
* [[Screw the Rules, I Make Them]]: Trump as President was described as "norm-breaking" and as willfully ignoring the limits, both written and unwritten, to a President's power and behavior.
* [[Screw This, I'm Outta Here]]: Trump's cabinet had the worst turnover rate in history. seven appointees quitting in the first six months alone. He had four Press Secretaries, four Chiefs of Staff, four Security Advisors, ''six'' Deputy Security Advisons (functioning without one after the last one quit), and two Attorney Generals. Anthony Scaramucci famously lasted only eleven days as Communications director before resigning.
* [[Self-Deprecation]]: Trump can laugh at himself, like at his roast and originally at the White House Correspondent's Dinner before [[It's Personal|the jokes against him got more scathing]]. [[Frontline]] even claimed it was Obama's jokes about Trump that caused Trump to run for president seriously.
