CNN Source: "He's pissed at damn near everyone."

Washington (CNN)A political clobbering, bickering aides and now a public grenade launched across the White House by the first lady have placed President Donald Trump in a position he loathes: backed into a corner.

A week after standing in the East Room and declaring victory in the midterm elections, the President is isolated and growing more furious by the day. He's openly speculating about replacing more members of his Cabinet, though so far has stopped short of executing the dismissals, leaving those aides in a career purgatory.

At an election night party at the White House, Trump left attendees guessing when he was spotted in a huddle with a potential replacement for his chief of staff, John Kelly, who himself stood awkwardly in a corner.

"Yes, he's pissed -- at damn near everyone," a White House official said, noting the mood in the Oval Office is darker than normal this week. After nearly a month straight of campaigning before adoring crowds, the applause has gone silent and the President has retreated. The tempest has led to rampant speculation inside the building about the fates of other senior staffers, some of whom are beginning to plan their exits.

Maybe something has happened to him and Malaria is running the WH now - kind of like what happened when Wilson had a stroke in 1919 and his wife Edith secretly ran the executive branch for the rest of his term. The general public had no idea how ill Wilson was or that Edith was handling everything.

After nearly a month straight of campaigning before adoring crowds, the applause has gone silent and the President has retreated..........

The President believed those crowds represented most of the people...He was too stupid to look at the polls. At most they represented 35 percent. Mr. Stupid somehow thought he was going to have a landslide in his favor.
But, it turned out to be the opposite. Mr Stupid doesn't realize that what you throw out there returns to you. He is much too stupid and self centered to know the truth. And the truth is that this country voted against Trump in this election. That is why Republicans lost the House and are in danger in the Senate..

Oh...it says that.. He is pissed at nearly everyone.....do you suppose....................
......................... He is pissed at himself for causing this? or Others for causing this?

...............................or does he even realize...Mr. Trump caused this

half dozen Klan rallies represents a large percentage of the voting population. Oh well, nobody ever referred to him as a stable genius except he himself.

When he gets blocked or crossed. His vengefulness is notable.

I said this early in the 2016 primary season and I stand by it.

Now I know he’s also stupid and suffers from cognitive decline.
