Republican presidents are supposed to FEAR Democrats and the media. Just take the hits, be a punching bag or else Dem's and the media retaliate. Trump fears neither of them its hilarious. Hell he openly mocks them, provokes them, and wins most of the exchanges. This has unhinged the Democrats that's why they are flailing in all directions.
But they aren't flailing.
Why do you think Trump is terrified?
Why do you think dozens of Republicans are retiring?
The GOP base worships Trump. Like he says, he could shoot and kills someone in cold blood in front of witnesses and his minions will still support him. He's right.
