Conservative writer Jennifer Rubin explored President Donald Trumps apparent inability to think through the consequences of his threats in her latest column for The Washington Post .

Rubin argued in the piece titled Trump paints himself into another corner and published Wednesday that the story of Trumps presidency could be summarized as:
