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 president’s decisions and conduct have led to a fracturing of Trump’s 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 president’s erratic behavior.”
