With senior White House officials anonymously writing op-eds to assure the people that "grown ups" are on staff to undercut the presidents insanity and now former Secretary of State John Kerry negotiating with Iran, it seems that Trump is loosing control (if he ever had any). It's one thing to be so disrespected, but these new developments show a whole level of dysfunction that we've not seen before in the White House. And now Trump's approval rating is dropping in ALL the polls.

So, obviously, an upset can occur within the space of a single e******n cycle but to turn that anomaly into a sustained shift in power would take a far more that a tweetstorm of BS. In the past, people like Hitler and Mussolini moved quickly to secure the power shift after the first e******n slip mostly through techniques that have eventually become associated with f*****m. For a while, it was looking like Trump was going to do the same thing, but Trump is no Hitler. Trump is no Mussolini... Trump is a ridiculous fool who spends way too much time on vanities. So if the White-Nationalists and various other deplorables want to Make America White Again, they're going to need to find a new guy.

In the meantime, it's reassuring to know that even while Trump sits on his throne, his power is being c*********d from within. He is depending more and more on a shrinking base of ineffective morons to support him while the "grownups" continue to ignore his orders and preserve the things of value that Trump is trying to destroy.

But don't loose hope, deplorables... Pence is right there, waiting in the wings. And this is why I advocate letting Trump stay on his throne until 2020. Kerry should be telling Iran to hang tight until then as I am sure he is. I'm sure all the great democracies around the world are doing the same. It's only two more years, after all. In that time, Trump's reckless policies, such as the 2017 Tax cut will have their effect and he won't be able to blame the consequences on his impeachment. Meanwhile, Trumps inability to legislate through Congress (he has sponsored only two LAWS in two years), his inability to enforce his own executive orders in sanctuary states like California (who is basically flipping Trump the bird) and his inability to gain any real consensus in the international community makes him to a large degree, ineffective.

I'm not saying we don't have anything to worry about... Any issue where Trump is really just doing what the Republicans want, such as the tax cuts and judicial nominees is an issue of concern, but the idea that Trump is going to buck the system is about as realistic as Pee Wee Herman destroying ISIS. Most of the powers that decide the world are just going to ignore his demands until he is v**ed off the island in 2020 and the parts of Obama's legacy, that are still relevant will be reinstated.

Hello again Mr. Bunker. Hope you are well in your neck of the plains.

However you may feel about Straightup's post, I think it is a mistake for Trump supporters to underestimate the thinking behind his post.
As you know, on OPP millions of liberals and Democrats suffer blanket insults multiple times on a daily basis. We are told to deal with it and stop whining.

The point is that this administration (and it's supporters) is making a critical error in ignoring, if not actively alienating, the half of the nation that did not v**e for the President. We don't go away.

It's not just the blue states that are ignoring or working against the administration. It's also just regular people where ever you find them. For example, here in NC the notorious 'bathroom bill' (HB2) is on the books but is not enforced in any fashion. There's no one looking at who is going into which bathroom.

While it is true that millions of working class folks may have v**ed for Trump as a change agent from politics as usual, it may not be true that they will accept anything that the President does. I know that polls are not the final word, however, they may be telling the administration that this is not what they v**ed for. They ignore that at their own risk.

That's why we v**e.
