Gloria Borger, CNNNot since Richard Nixon started talking to the portraits on the walls of the West Wing has a president seemed so alone against the world.
One source -- who is a presidential ally -- is worried, really worried. The source says this past week is "different," that advisers are scared the President is spiraling, lashing out, just out of control. For example: Demanding to hold a public session where he made promises on trade tariffs before his staff was ready, not to mention willing. "This has real economic impact," says the source, as the Dow dropped 420 points after the President's news Thursday. "Something is very wrong."
Even by Trumpian standards, the chaos and the unraveling at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue are a stunning -- and recurring -- problem.
But there's an up-against-the-wall quality to the past couple of weeks that is striking, and the crescendo is loud, clear, unhealthy, even dangerous.

(23,078 posts)I'm worried about our country, what this traitorous ignorant, stupid, criminal, venal, thief and oligarch will do too stay in power. I am really concerned that he will fire a few nukes at NK so he can be the war president, declare martial law after NK shoots back, and shut down the constitution so he can't be removed. In the meantime, millions and millions of people on the Korean peninsula and in the US will die so Putin can continue to control our government.
We know he's a speed freak, see extreme sniffling at almost every speech, so while this would be unthinkable with anyone else, it's so scary that he's the one person stupid enough to do this to us and the world.
