    Wow

    Honestly... to me this has gone too far. This is a blatant strong arm tactic.

    His brutal behaviour is escalating.

    Trump vexed by challenges, scale of government

    Being president is harder than Donald Trump thought, according to aides and allies who say that he’s growing increasingly frustrated with the challenges of running the massive federal bureaucracy.

    In interviews, nearly two dozen people who’ve spent time with Trump in the three weeks since his inauguration said that his mood has careened between surprise and anger as he’s faced the predictable realities of governing, from congressional delays over his cabinet nominations and legal fights holding up his aggressive initiatives to staff in-fighting and leaks.

    The administration’s rocky opening days have been a setback for a president who, as a billionaire businessman, sold himself to voters as being uniquely qualified to fix what ailed the nation. Yet it has become apparent, say those close to the president, most of whom requested anonymity to describe the inner workings of the White House, that the transition from overseeing a family business to running the country has been tough on him.

    Starting to think they will keep Spicer around....kinda like you need a dog to kick when you're frustrated.
    Conway fucks up but it's Spicer who is the bad guy.




    Report: Trump upset at Spicer for saying Conway was 'counseled'

    Wouldn't be surprised if he strokes out. Clearly he doesn't handle stress well and from what I've seen, he doesn't exercise except for golfing. But even then he rides in a cart. Anyone who thought he could run the country like his business and thus was uniquely qualified for the job was bamboozled.

    it is showing more and more what I've been saying....he clearly didn't understand going in that he is not king. he cannot just tell everyone what to do and expect them to do it.

    this is probably what he likes most about putin.

    I think he is miserable. I heard what Howard Stern said, and I agree. Trump loves celebrities, rubbing elbows with elite, and being liked. This current existence, where the reality show of the campaign is over and everyone hates him... and celebrities, movie stars, athletes, SNL skits, etc are continually tearing him down. It is going to kill him. He never really intended for this to get this far, and is probably extremely overwhelmed.

    Within the next 4 years... I wouldn't be shocked to see a health issue present itself, or for him to have to 'step aside' and give the keys to Pence for a period of time.

    I predict, a major terrible event will happen and he will tweet or say something very insensitive and ingenuous. The shit-storm and calls for resignation, even from his 'own side' will be too much to bear.

    This is more fun than the W years... hopefully several hundred thousand people don't get killed and an entire region set ablaze this time around

    can you imagine the world right now if we just went into Afghanistan and never went into Iraq??? I don't think Americans really understand how much of the worlds chaos right now was caused by invading Iraq

    elections have real world consequences folks... this has been child's play so far

    All kinds of insanity on Twitter about the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruling. Images of 9/11, etc. I wonder why none of the countries banned were the country of the 9/11 attackers? It just doesn't make sense to me....I'm in an alternate universe maybe? Having a nightmare? Someone please wake me up.

    The level of fear with those folks is really astounding. And it seems like it's a result of suggestion and manipulation by trump, because why weren't they this terrified before? All the court basically said was that the status quo will be maintained. They're crapping their pants, but nothing has changed.
