It's all going wrong for Trump

A number of his top men are not up to the job or are too inexperienced to cope.

No surprises then.

I think so, because I think it will take Republicans longer to abandon him. Now, if it gets much worse, he could always resign -- but that doesn't seem very in character for him, either. I mean, this is a guy who (I'm totally serious) tells foreign leaders how popular he is and what a great job everybody thinks he's doing in the midst of giant coast-to-coast protests and reports (from inside the White House) that they've had to hold meetings in the dark because they can't find the light switches: http://www.sfgate.com/politics/article/Report-Trump-team-baffled-by-White-House-light-10911729.php

So the denial is strong in this one. But you know, Republican senators are already admitting in private they think Trump's off in the head ( http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2017/02/senator_franken_claims_some_gop_senators_think_trump_is_nuts.html ) and a veteran journalist says they're smiling to his face for now, but when his back's turned they're sharpening their knives.

I would say, the midterm election races should start heating up late this year/early next year. If it looks like they're doomed, Republicans may very well warm up to impeachment to win back some conservative cred.

Donald Trump doesn't like to read the neo-Nazi-inspired Executive Orders of his chief strategist, but he always has time for window treatments. According to an explosive Maggie Haberman and Glenn Thrush New York Times profile of life in the Trump White House, the leader of the free world has not fully reviewed the Muslim ban, but he gleefully studied a 17-page catalog of window dressings. That the White House staff can't locate the light switches in the cabinet room is almost too easy a metaphor for the way the Trump administration is struggling to fit the sweeping nationalistic rhetoric of the campaign into the unsexy world of governance. It would be hilarious, if not for the prospect of power clashes leading to World War III. Read on for five of the most shocking details.

1. Visitors are literally in the dark.

If you have a meeting at the White House, you better hope it ends before dark. No, that's not when Bannon's brownshirts come out, but there's a horror of a different order awaiting those innocently looking for an exit sign. As Haberman and Thrush explain, “Visitors conclude their meetings and then wander around, testing doorknobs until finding one that leads to an exit. In a darkened, mostly empty West Wing, Mr. Trump’s provocative chief strategist, Stephen K. Bannon, finishes another 16-hour day planning new lines of attack.” Perhaps they should bring flashlights.

2. In the evenings, the president flees to his residence, his bathrobe and his private security.

While ambassadors, senators and anyone unlucky enough to be playing the presidential version of "Escape the Room" are fleeing to safety, Trump reportedly retreats to the residence at about 6:30pm. With Melania and Barron back in New York, he changes into his bathrobe for a relaxing night of shouting at CNN, tweeting and wandering around his new surroundings in his bathrobe. Instead of actually engaging with the outside world, the Times reports, he retreats to the bosom of cable news. "For a sense of what is happening outside, he watches cable, both at night and during the day—too much in the eyes of some aides—often offering a bitter play-by-play of critics like CNN’s Don Lemon."

The Library of Congress on Sunday night pulled a page on its online store for an official portrait celebrating Donald Trump’s inauguration as the 45th president of the United States. The move came after eagle-eyed critics pointed out a glaring typo.

“No dream is too big, no challenge is to great. Nothing we want for the future is beyond our reach,” the quote read on the poster, which appeared on the Library of Congress’ online shopping page but was disabled Sunday night.

According to the original page, “the print captures the essence of Donald Trump’s campaign for the presidency.”

I'll say! Laughing

He's already said he doesn't care about any of that. He cheers on the Republicans and boos the Democrats just like they were two sports teams.

At least he's stopped pretending to hate both parties, though.

Lol. I still have a great deal of disdain for both parties, but Liberals tend to get under my skin a great deal more than the Republicans and Conservatives. At least when Conservatives get upset, they don't rush out to riot and burn down their town. And when they lost 2 elections to Obama, I didn't hear them crying about it for months on end. Liberals are a very nasty and vitriolic group.

So where people have thought someone as strong, makes them a good leader?

PMSL

It also says from the same Poll, the latter being more important

But even with more Republicans?Independents polled here

The majority 57% think he is dishonest
The majority 55% thinks he is ineffective at running the Government.
The majority does not think he inspires confidence

lol classic own goal and how where Trump worshipers take a Poll where he is bashed as good.

Then Liberalism is not dead then is it and you just made a very absurd and incorrect statement.
How is also America saved by placing people in power who are at odds, with equality, for example trying to deny the right of women on what they can do with their bodies?
That is not saving Americans, but denying them their rights.
So you have not saved Civil Rights, Democracy or the constitution, Trump is trying to subvert them

So please keep up the illusions you have, they are most entertaining

I have that beat with just the Donald Trump Whine thread on this site. No need to even go into all the protests and riots and destruction caused by the Left, because I'm sure you can cite all kinds of instances where the non-Liberals did that when Obama won... right? Or maybe not because that didn't happen?

There is no comparison.

that's all. Trump is completely out of his league and thoroughly disrespected by world leaders. sure they may currently stroke his ego in order to get what they want but no one respects him.

Trump has given it over to China and Russia
by the end of his presidency they will probably dominate economically (already very close) and militarily too.

If more conservative lived in cities then you'd have seen more high profile protests. ( https://newsone.com/2081621/paul-ryan-election-interview/ GOP blames Obama's win on Urban areas)
but they did things like shot their families instead Rolling Eyes

1) Albert Peterson a wealthy Washington, D.C., defense contractor, couldn’t even wait for the elections to take place. In fact, he was so distraught over the prospect of Obama possibly winning his presidential bid that he shot and killed his wife, Kathleen (pictured); two young sons, Christopher, 13, and Matthew, 16; then took his own life. Peterson was obsessed about politics and would send daily e-mails to friends and family about its climate. In addition to losing a dear uncle, the 48-year-old man was reportedly driven in to depression at the thought of Obama winning a second term. Ironically, both his father and an uncle committed suicide in past years, with Peterson making an unsuccessful attempt at taking his own life five years ago. Friends and family concur that Obama’s potential win pushed Peterson over an edge that he had been teetering from for quite a while.

Holly Solomon was so incensed that Obama was, yet again, elected president that she took out her ire on her poor husband, Daniel. Since her husband failed to vote, Holly blamed him for what she thought was a calamitous result, Obama’s re-election. So instead of balling Daniel out, Holly ran and did the next best thing: try to run him over with her Jeep! The 28-year-old woman believed that her family would continue to suffer hardship due to Obama’s policies, spurring her to chase her husband around a retail store parking lot. When the miffed wife finally did plow Daniel down, the end result for him was a fractured pelvis, torn artery, and possible permanent disfigurement. Solomon was arrested and charged with domestic violence and aggravated assault.

https://newsone.com/2082964/republicans-against-obama/

Election Day eve got pretty ugly at the University of Mississippi, when hundreds of students gathered the school’s campus to riot after the race was called for Obama. There were plenty of racial slurs hurled about the President and African Americans in general. Additionally, Obama signs were burned to the ground. Police eventually broke up the mob scene, which lasted until the wee hours of Wednesday morning.

That's a tragedy what happened to that family... but it's not a mob of people looting, burglarizing, shooting, assaulting, vandalizing, etc, etc...
That was one lone person acting on his own, and he probably had much deeper problems than who was going to be the next president. I guarantee that.

Same thing with what happened at U-Miss. You're seriously trying to label a group of people because of what a handful of drunk, barely-voting-age college kids did? Seriously?
It's not like they shut down an entire campus, make death threats, and cause over $100,000 of damage, vandalizing a university. All because someone was scheduled to speak there... and would hurt their fragile snowflake feelings. *Sniff..*
See what I did there? Wink

The actions of one, or a few, does not define the many.
The collective actions of the many, on the other hand, broadcasts clearly who they collectively are and represent -- for better or worse.
