I dont give a flying fart about how many prostitutes Trump might have laid/paid in his life. Not one little sliver of my consciousness will ever be spent on that piffle.
But here are some issues that concern me, and may lead to Trumps undoing and they seem to be getting ignored.
1. Trump thinks chaos is normal. Trump seems to thrive in disorder, but he does not seem to realize that the tone he sets in the White House ripples into the rest of the Federali bureaucracy. He needs to settle down and let his staff operate without ambushing them, especially Sanders and Sessions.
2. Trump sees the fate of the country as identical to his personal interests, so it very often seems to me. This is not a good thing for a leader.
3. Trumps success so far lies in undoing some of Obama's excesses, hence why our political system tends to get above average leaders as we change the children in charge every eight years.
4. Trump assumes that economic growth will reduce the national annual deficit, but this is unlikely to happen if Trump kicks off a trade war. But I would rather have a trade war and Americans working instead of the nearly jobless success of the last eight years.
5. When Trump undermines his own staff, he makes the long term effectiveness of those staffers diminished. This is not how one governs effectively. Trump needs to act like he realizes he is leading the most powerful nation on Earth instead of his private company now.
To summarize, Trump seems to cloud his personal responsibilities/limits with his Federal duties, and this concerns me.
