Scary. Trump has not faced a major crisis yet.

His presidency is a wreck because of self inflicted wounds. He was handed a good economy, He pretty much continued obamas foreign policy. Trump can't handle things now. What's going to happen when things get tough?

Something I've been saying for a while but with Trump's ever increasingly radical behavior, continual turbulence across the administration, and the drastic under-staffing in every department it's only getting worse.

I just don't see him giving ad and comfort to victims and their families. He is a cold selfish a$$hole.

And that may be his response to a terrorist attack too. He will never say a word against guns.

We're sitting ducks for just about anything, from some terrorist attack to a natural disaster. Trump has probably given our enemies a great deal of confidence to attack us now, because he's alienating our allies and decimating or ignoring our national strengths.

It's not a question of if but of when.

He has a lot coming down before him and he won't be able to wave them aside. He'll simply call the judges "robed idiots" or some such and go on his way. Any problems with the country or the world are minor compared to Trump problems. He'll hand those over to Pence...God help us.

I'm wondering if, along with all the other shenanigans, a divorce is in the works? Neither look happy and they are seldom together. She should be the one calming Trump down, not Ivanka. Is she going to live in the Tower all summer? Decision time coming soon.

When all is said and done, major problems will cut his TV watching from 6 hours/day to 4.
