Trump gaining weight and emotionally withdrawing as Russia probe swamps White House
http://www.rawstory.com/2017/05/trump-gaining-weight-and-emotionally-withdrawing-as-russia-probe-swamps-white-house-report/
Donald Trump is emotionally withdrawing and gaining weight as the FBI investigation into possible collusion between his campaign and the Russian government creeps closer to the Oval Office.
As he returns from his mercurial trip abroad, the president is forced to deal with the fallout from news that members of his inner circle, including son-in-law and Secretary of Everything Jared Kushner is a person of interest in the FBI probe.
CNNs Gloria Borger reports the president was already in a pretty glum mood when he set out for a multi-day blitz through Europe and the Middle East. But now he faces even more legal woes after reports revealed Kushner tried to establish a backchannel line of communication between the Trump transition team and the Kremlin. Hes even brought on his longtime personal attorney, Marc Kasowitz, who will supervise the president legal team.
One source told Borger Trumps major misstep was firing former FBI Director James Comey, which ultimately resulted int he appointment of special counsel Robert Mueller.

(12,941 posts)It really is his only viable option at this point for remaining in power. Either that or he'll resign and blame everyone else. I'd say it's a coin flip.

Trump wanted the title and all the percs but
he's totally clueless about the job. In fact,
he hates the job. And boy does it show.
That's gotta suck... for him.

(11,086 posts)It seems likely he never meant to win. Any job you don't do well sucks. He looks like hell. He is dragging not only himself down but taking his family with him. His health appears to be deteriorating quickly.
What happens first: (1) the job kills him or (2) he does himself (and the rest of us) a favor and quits?
