Driving into work this morning, this is the exact word I decided described how I felt about the Trump presidency ... "unraveling."
So nice to find this article: Donald Trumps Presidency is Unraveling
Most Americans understood how unqualified and erratic Trump was, and to the tune of 3-million votes chose Hillary Clinton instead. But that pesky little thing called the Electoral College had a different plan. By a margin of about 80,000 votes (and with some help from ex-FBI Director James Comey and Russian President Vladimir Putin) in the key blue wall states of Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania, Trump squeaked out a shocking victory. The unfortunate result is that we now have the most emotional, insecure, impulsive, petulant, volatile, mentally-unhinged and dangerous president in the history of Western democracy. Its a bone-chilling reality ...
... This utterly dizzying vortex of bullshit has been perpetuated by vice-president Mike Pence, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer, Principle Deputy Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders and Trump himself. CNNs Dabid Chalian called this latest stunning display of lying a crisis of credibility. And its only getting worse ...
... A Quinnipiac poll released Thursday provided some disastrous new data for the administration: when asked for a one-word description of Trump, the top three words were idiot, incompetent and liar. And his approval dropped to 36% from 40% in mid-April (Hes only 111 days into his presidency. Historically, a presidents popularity erodes precipitously throughout his term) ...
... Trump is personally spiraling out of control and sabotaging his presidency. Judging from the spate of terminations so far, (including Attorney General Sally Yates and NY federal prosecutor Preet Bharara), reports of staff infighting, frequent and critical leaks and the dark cloud of RussiaGate looming ominously over the White House, its hard to fathom how he can or will last four years.
Unravel FASTER, please, Donald ...

Scary to be completely UN-introspective, if that is a word.

BULL! He is going directly to the people by the only means possible. The MEDIA is so slanted there is NO attempt at factual reporting. President Trump is not going to whimper and say nothing like President Bush did. We elected a FIGHTER and I love his tweets which let WE THE PEOPLE in on what he is thinking. You dont have to agree, but you do know what he is thinking. A far cry from the PC disease which has consumed this country thanks to Obama and Clinton pushing their Communist agenda.
Trump is doing a whale of a good job already, rebuilding and releasing our economy from the rules and regulations of the Globalist agenda of Obama. WHERE I THE CREDIT for the immense improvements going on in this country? People are finding jobs that didnt exist before Jan. 20th. Remember Obama saying Those jobs are never coming back to America? Ask the steel industry, ask the coal miners, ask people in the manufacturing business and on and on. It will take more time, but the change is already happening. Thanks to Trumps EOs.
SELDOM are losers correct. It is why they are losers. America is a CAN DO Nation. True Americans are sick and tired of the Cant Do disease promulgated by the left. We are HAPPY to have a leader again, not another politically correct nincompoop!
Keep on breaking things, President Trump. Youre moving in the right direction.

But even deep in the bastion of the Trumpanzees there are murmurs of anxiety:
I'm ok with his twitter usage, but some of what he posts does come across strange. The limitations of twitter can make posts come across... strange, and he has some that do come across that way. I would def limit its use.

Hell, *Rumps idiot base are so damned stupid, you could not even convince them of that concept!

(3,542 posts)will never think any other way. Why? It's simple. For them to admit they were wrong, is to acknowledge they where conned by him. That of course that would make them look even dumber. So, no matter what he does they will always have an excuse. Always!

(5,477 posts)I wandered off to freeperville a little while earlier (and yes, I took a shower afterwards), and they are completely off the hook. They have decided that is all a part of some grand plan that Trumplethinskin is implementing; that anything 'bad' said about him or his actions are just more 'fake news'; that he actually has the support of the majority of the country; and, incredibly, that he has been 'wining' over and over again, his poll numbers are up, and he'll easily win a second term.
"You can fool some of the people some of the time..." comes to mind.
They are (mostly) either as delusional as he is, or are just putting forward a brave face as the lights some on and the roaches scatter.
One guy had a semi-lucid moment when a couple of neurons actually fired, and said that tRump should get off Twitter because his message to Comey about 'tapes' and stopping press briefings made him look unstable. He was was quickly denounced - it was all 'fake news'.
Un-freaking-real. They appear to be spinning nearly as fast as this (which, we can hope, will also make *them* disappear).

Because they will put up another monster and another and another.
This won't end with Trump.
