The guy simply doesn't want anybody in gov't service telling him what to do, or even vaguely suggesting it. In his mind, he was voted into office because of the way he dictatorially ran things outside of said office, despite the reality that he is an incompetent doofus in private life and has more than proven that in the two years he's been in the West Wing.
I mean, how can he possibly take advice from his underlings when he just so happens to be the smartest person in the room no matter what room he just so happens to find himself in? Of course he's going to take his own misguided uniformed advice from the gut rather than rely on advice from folks whose only desire (in his mind) is to take him down and humiliate him with extreme prejudice just as he would do to them.
He wants to take credit for things he is incapable of accomplishing while refusing to take responsibility for those many many things he's been fvcking up on a daily basis. That in itself limits his willingness to seek advice and thus force him to give credit to others yet so easily blame others for his failures.
He doesn't need anyone giving him advice except when it comes to improving his miserable ratings or at least stopping his ratings from falling any further. Ergo, whatever advice Hannity, Limbaugh and Coulter gives him is much more worthy of his attention than anything his traitorous intelligence/security agencies can provide in the way of keeping him in office.
After all, isn't that what every single Repub in office is manically focused on? They're all under threat of losing their control of the gov't. The mid-terms gave them a severe wake up call. Especially so for Trump.
