Donald Trump’s Week Of Chaos Met With Talk Of His Removal

I think this is a wonderful defense (actually insult) of Trump:

---------

“It is a child who blurts out classified information in order to impress distinguished visitors,” Douthat wrote. “It is a child who asks the head of the F.B.I. why the rules cannot be suspended for his friend and ally. It is a child who does not understand the obvious consequences of his more vindictive actions — like firing the very same man whom you had asked to potentially obstruct justice on your say-so.”

“But a child also cannot really commit ‘high crimes and misdemeanors’ in any usual meaning of the term,” he added. “There will be more talk of impeachment now, more talk of a special prosecutor for the Russia business; well and good. But ultimately I do not believe that our president sufficiently understands the nature of the office that he holds.”

---------

In other words, be nice to Trump because he's an idiot and it's not nice to make fun of the mentally deficient. :-)

‘Hello, Bob’: President Trump called my cellphone to say that the health-care bill was dead

Trump's doing everything he can to try to shift blame for the Trumpcare failure on the Democrats...even though the GOP used reconciliation procedures so they could cut the Democrats out of the process, and they did nothing to work with them on the bill:

When the GOP won the presidency and both houses of Congress, THEY took over ownership of Obamacare. It was theirs to improve or destroy as they wanted, and the Democrats could do nothing (even the Senate filibuster could be bypassed). So the popular vote loser can add one more of his lies to the unending list.
