After watching the movie The Irishman, I can't understand Jimmy Hoffa's behavior. He was Irish, but was making business with the Italian mafia. Since he was an Irish guy surrounded by Italians, it was a matter of time before getting whacked by the Italians. Also, he didn't had his own Irish bodyguard who he could trust. In the movie he looks like an idiot.
Can anyone explain his irrational behavior?

It's a movie so to try an assume how the script writer portrayed Hoffa vs real life is mute. Many Micks have been part of a crew, just depends on their knowledge/talent same with jews accountant/connects. Why do you think a trusted bodyguard could only be of the same heritage? I wasn't impressed with the movie, kind of lame actually. Seems like Lead role may have had influence on story. Irish can be hardheads & hotheads but not total baffoons, I come from a long line of thick-heads. Just don't believe what you see on TV as gospel. BTW Danny Greene's path did cross Hoffa's. The movie "Kill the Irishman" is way better as well.(IMDB)

Danny Greene's story looks plausible. It's still weird that he worked for the kikes.
