"As late as one hour before the decision was to be announced, administration officials privately expressed concern that Mr. Trump might not fully grasp the details of the steps he was about to take, and when he discovered their full impact, would change his mind, according to a person familiar with their thinking who spoke on condition of anonymity without authorization to comment on it."
This is more than frightening.

I hate this man & everyday I'm stunned that there doesn't seem to be a way to deal with him more immediately than 2-4 years from now. If then! If redistricting goes as badly for the dems in 2020 as it did in 2010, I'm not sure when the dems will retake the House.
