POTUS Paranoia

paranoia1

Rumors out of the West Wing, is that Trump has gone full paranoid in the wake of Bob Woodward’s new book and the New York Times Op-Ed piece.  Anonymous sources, the ones that Trump seems paranoid about, say that he’s growing more and more unhinged about it.  He has apparently disrupted meetings about it, and if someone looks at him in a way he finds out of place, he immediately suspects them of being the author of the Op-Ed.  Don Jr. says his dad isn’t sleeping, and Trump has mandated that staff are to call the anonymous author a coward in public to maybe shame them?  I guess?  And apparently the West Wing is bracing themselves for the climate to get even worse come the mid-terms.  So what comes next?  I don’t know for sure, but I’m placing bets on Trump going full “the Shining” on everyone.  Any takers?

Trump’s Fiery Vengeance

So, Trump’s epic, scheduled, Twitter blowup session was as entertaining and kind of horrific as usual.  It’s like that car crash you can’t look away from.  On one end, his ability to just say slanderous things about James Comey unimpeded is sad, and isn’t right.  On the other hand, I think he might have just been the very best promotion for Comey’s upcoming book release, which was the target of Trump’s ire on Sunday.  Interest in Comey’s book seems to have skyrocketed, from most people not knowing the book even really existed to every one and their mother curious about what he might say about his time working with Trump.  I can’t speak to how Trump will effect Comey’s credibility, but he’s certainly helping to line Comey’s pockets.

Steve Bannon – Man of Conviction

Bannon's spine1

So Steve Bannon is walking back his statements made in the new Trump book, and apologizing hoping to save face with his ex-boss.  I wonder what it took for Bannon to abandon his “take no prisoners, never apologize or surrender” attitude?
