Discussion: WaPo: Some Trump Aides Attempt To Delay President's Worst Impulses

Why would they want to stop him?

Trump’s tweets seem to encapsulate the real spirit of right wing mania…

The common mob that FOX tapped to create this alt-real conservative class is just too easily influenced by social media. It gave them a common brain to replace all the individual missing units.

And now they have Trump to tweet their mutual confusion for all the world to see.

Dear WH.Aides have you tried talking to Muller? Or smoothering Tiny Hands with a pillow in his sleep?

Aren’t they all “worst” impulses?

So dumb, he has to be played by his aides to prevent him from creating worse chaos than he is already creating.

Our president. Frightening.

“In subsequent days behind closed doors, the president mocked the reactions of McConnell and Ryan from the meeting with an exaggerated crossing of his arms and theatrical frowns,” the Post reported.

He’s a very sick (or bad) boy.

I guess it’s still a little too early to expect “the pivot”? So, how about the “downward spiral”?

So what’s happening with Ivanka and Jared? For such a large “portfolio”, we’ve heard next to nothing about Jared in several weeks. And only Ivanka a few times when she gets laid to waste on some stupid tweet she’s posted.

Is there any reason to conclude that the adult care team was not in fact overwhelmingly successful?

Watching this maladministration lurch from self-made crisis to self-made crisis is unnerving, but I suspect that’s a big part of their strategy - make us stop paying attention so the REAL looting can begin. That’s fairly standard in D.C., just not on this scale.

True, and he’s not even amusing like Dubya was when he was constantly being outwitted by inanimate objects.

Good thing other countries and organizations around the world are watching this and thinking about way to take advantage of this dysfunction.

Their joint disappearance is pretty suspicious. Of course, they still have fully-staffed West Wing offices and top secret clearance, but what the hell are they actually doing?

Maybe they’re hunkered down because of all the negative publicity about Jared’s felonious lies on his security clearance forms. Maybe they’ve been implicated in one or more of the numerous traitorous acts of collusion with Russians to subvert the election. Maybe Mueller has discreetly notified them that they will be called to answer for trying to hide their emails or for conversations taped by the intelligence community.

As a taxpayer financing their opulent lifestyle, I’d really like to know.

They gave him a Rubik’s Cube, but he just kept pressing the colored squares with his thumbs because he thought he could Tweet with it.
