Trump Propels the Government and Markets Into Crisis
December 20, 2018 at 9:51 pm EST By Taegan Goddard
Washington Post: At perhaps the most fragile moment of his presidency and vulnerable to convulsions on the political right Trump single-handedly propelled the U.S. government into crisis and sent markets tumbling with his gambits this week to salvage signature campaign promises.
The presidents decisions and conduct have led to a fracturing of Trumps coalition. Hawks condemned his sudden decision to withdraw U.S. troops from Syria. Conservatives called him a gutless president and questioned whether he would ever build a wall. Political friends began privately questioning whether Trump needed to be reined in.
Politico: Even some stalwart Trump allies are privately expressing new levels of concern about the presidents erratic behavior.
