Following Donald Trumps surprising firing of FBI Director James Comey, the atmosphere in the White House grew dejected as staffers attempted to figure out how to handle the increasingly angry president
According to CNNs White House sources (who all spoke on conditions of anonymity), Trump has been increasingly isolated and agitated without any public appearances in a week.
Before traveling to the evangelical Liberty University on Saturday to deliver a commencement speech, Trump reportedly hadnt left the White House since last Sunday. Internal sources said the presidents mood had been low due to going a full week without hearing the applause and adulation that he craves.
Reports of the presidents impatience and apparent difficult nature have become a regular part of the White House leak economy, and the post-Comey leaks provide all the more evidence of the presidents personality.

(9,426 posts)the idea of Mrs. tRump and son moving in are what gets him down? It is SO obvious that their marriage was over long ago. Marry for money and live in misery.

(12,448 posts)And it's not just that he's gone a week without the "applause and adulation." Nothing is ever enough. The White House isn't gold enough, the crowds aren't big enough, his staff isn't smart enough.
It was supposed to be different. The Leader of the Free World! Such power at his disposal! He would be able to do what he wanted, order whatever came into his head and people would have to obey!
And now, reality, as much as he is able to see it, comes roaring in. He cowers and trembles in the face of it.

(6,699 posts)He deserves all of the misery coming his way. For this small, pompous, self centered and greedy son-of-a-bitch has taken a fledgling nation and made us the butt of loathing and ridicule to the rest of the world.
And every day this clown has the neocon republican hand shoved up his ass, they steal and pilfer away what should be the future of this nation for the common man and woman.
I sincerely hope hell is a reality for this filth and all the rest of those who sold their souls to the devil.

(1,129 posts)And adulation in order to receive praise/ applause & adulation....
Unfortunately, dick-tater donnie can't bring himself to do anything that might actually benefit society....
In response to the resulting absence of adoring fans screaming his name ....
he chooses to "just show them" by fucking with critically important issues like
healthcare, nuclear warfare, free trade, National Security, Immigration, etc.
It would be nice if someone would finally tell him point blank.. straight up
just what a fucking cry-baby, spoiled brat, self absorbed, punk-ass m-fukker he really is...
I'd gladly volunteer for that job...

(53,410 posts)I've always thought his sons are scared of him on many levels. He probably calls them weak and losers and disloyal at the drop of a hat. His relationship with Ivanka, whatever that is, sure hasn't brought her out to defend him in the last week either. Melania doesn't live with him in the White House and it doesn't seem he has much contact with his son Baron.
If you love your father, wouldn't you have more of a relationship? Especially if he's having a really hard time?
