Trump fears no one. Well, he does fear two men. Two men who can probably take him down in a heartbeat once they release everything they know about him. So he shines them on and compliments them and supports them and sticks by them. He is so outclassed he is desperate to please them. At any time either one or both can drop the guillotine. Imagine a man like Trump living 24/7 knowing that? It can't be easy.
