President Trump is down in the dumps about the how the run-up to his election campaign is being spoiled by a string of crises, and his advisers are reportedly growing tired of his bad attitude. The Washington Post reports that advisers have started to brace themselves for a “woe is me” monologue whenever they drop a line to the president. White House figures including Jared Kushner, the president’s son-in-law and senior adviser, have reportedly urged him to try out a “sunnier” demeanor or risk alienating his supporters. Other White House figures, including Hope Hicks, have reportedly tried to cheer him up by filling his diary with events he might enjoy. One unnamed outside adviser said Trump seemed almost “inconsolable” in a recent chat and complained about how “some stupid cop in Minneapolis kneels on someone’s neck and now everyone is protesting.” Another outside adviser said aides are urging Trump to “snap out of it” but that he seems “fixated.”

We were sick of it a long time ago.

4. Another "I'm not complicit because I know he's a a jerk and am willing to say so anonymously" story

I'm sick of these stories. Either quit or go public (or both) ... Otherwise they need to STFU

9. Yeah, be "sunnier"...

That's the ticket. Fuckin' clowns.

11. He is a fatalist. He is not a functioning human being.

What do they expect from him? He is incapable of understanding anything beyond his own selfish needs.

12. Oooooof

Other White House figures, including Hope Hicks, have reportedly tried to cheer him up by filling his diary with events he might enjoy.

When are they going to stop foisting this clownish man-baby on us. This is how one handles a toddler.

Good Lord!

[Nevilledog]

14. Jesus Christ.

[gratuitous]

19. That's my thought

It seems like every one of these behind-the-scenes vignettes show how the White House staff is handling the President of the United States like a cranky toddler who's still up half an hour after he should have gone to bed. Just come right out, on the record, and say it. Let him fire you. Because I can tell you that in the time to come when Trump is no longer in a position to terrorize the countryside, nobody's going to be too inclined to hear how you saved the Republic by bringing him a Diet Coke.

13. They're sick of it?

Maybe they should stop enabling the guy.

[Champp]

15. Everyone knows that whiney Republican draft dodgers suck

Even though not everyone will admit it.

[Javaman]

16. Just who are these "advisors" and why should I give a flying fuck

about these enablers?

[irisblue]

17. Put up or shut up 'advisors'. This will not help your future gop careers

[JHB]

18. Once again, they misspelled "lickspittles"

[GoCubsGo]

20. Now they know how the rest of the country has felt for the past three-and-a-half years.

Cry me a fucking river.
