For a presidency that's already in crisis see his 36% job-approval rating per Gallup or this Thursday's upcoming testimony by former FBI Director James Comey the last 24 hours or so have been extraordinarily horrendous for President Trump.
For starters, there was his out-of-context shot at London's mayor after the terrorist attack on the city Saturday night (before playing a round of golf). Then there were his tweets this morning that called his revised travel ban "watered down" and "politically correct," potentially undermining his administration's legal defense that the ban doesn't discriminate against Muslims. And then there's this stunning Politico article that Trump deliberately failed to include language in his recent NATO speech reaffirming the alliance's Article 5 provision.

(111 posts)Did you hear that raging narcissist announce his air traffic control privatization plan? He said of the Obama administration's attempts to fix problems (massively obstructed by Congress, btw), "They didn't know what the hell they were doing."
Such gobsmackingly hugely reckless disrespect. I'd love to smack the sh*t out of that out-of-control toddler.

No problem.
Never get done.
He probably never told Congress or anyone else that he was planning to do this.
