    I think a few who were good at working trump in his first administration did do this too - but as you say, there’s fewer than you’d think; and I think when his handlers figured out this was happening, they started scheduling Republicans to meet him right after to “correct” his mindset.

      I’m fairly convinced that part of why this term is so batshit is because there are fewer “corrector” handlers left keeping him in check, it’s just Stephen Miller’s “mouth” direct to Trump’s ears. There have been a lot of insider leaks confirming that Miller is just wormtonguing the senile old man day and night.
