It is big time getting in the way of him doing any kind of effective politicking or governing, he surrounds himself with sycophants and then gets surprised when they always stab him in the back. He could have brought in honest people from his own movement to keep him honest, but that would mean his ego would take a beating whenever he did something stupid.
This is why people should not be shocked if he loses legitimately. I hope I'm fucking badly wrong, but I feel like even if he does win it will be another pyrrhic victory because he realistically failed at everything he set out to do because he didn't truly understand the forces arrayed against him and he's making it out everything is about him.
