Trump White House is unraveling at the seams

Never before in my lifetime have I seen a president experience such turmoil on a consistent basis. Besides an economy that is arguably stronger than any other time in our nation’s history, the constant bad news president Trump is receiving on a personal level is unprecedented and makes me believe he is nothing but a crook who colluded with Russia before the election and committed obstruction of justice.

The recent op-ed that was written in the New York Times by an anonymous senior official in his White House is a clear sign that there are people in his administration at high levels who view our president and his presidency as very dangerous. So dangerous that there are members of his administration who are, essentially, working together to bring him down. That in itself is amazing, and speaks volumes about the man who is currently occupying the White House.

I definitely have my popcorn ready as I watch this presidency implode and unravel at the seams, and the drama and controversy consistently unfold.
