Did Trump REALLY have a bad week?

Or was all of this the Shiny Thing Of The Week.

While we watch in horror as children are kidnapped, while we discuss a, to be honest, enigmatic message on a coat worn by the enigmatic wife of the pResident, as all of this swirls about, what is the cabal actually doing? What rules has Scott Pruitt rolled back? What rules is Wilbur Ross relaxing? What government land has Ryan Zinke given to his pals?

What are they doing?

The news is preoccupied with exactly what Trump wants them to be preoccupied.

As a result, we have no idea what he's really up to.

So . . . . . does he ever really have bad weeks?

The more team Trump has to deflect, distract, then respond to the fallout from those attempts, the longer Mueller gets to put all his pieces together.

Right now, Mueller's taking down the lieutenants and knocking the foundation out from under Trump. Smart move.

This was far and away the worst week of Trump's presidency and given his stubbornness on this issue, it's only going to get worse for him. Even Bush's botched response to Katrina didn't generate this heat.

You really think Captain Covfefe orchestrated this PR nightmare to hide what Scott Pruitt and Wilbur Ross are doing? Lol, most Americans don't even know who they are. Shit, the majority of Americans don't even know that Robert Mueller has uncovered crimes!

The little girl in the red sweater is more instantly recognizable than all three of them now, and that's not good news for Trump.

No, John Fante, here we do not go. Here we discuss.

Welcome to DU. We're glad you're here.

And the post is about the media.

Have a swell day.

The Republican candidate's husband (who held the seat previously for 20 years) was a big Trump supporter. The Dem. made the race about Trump and beat the Republican. Easily.

Republicans get blue-waved in Little Havana. It's been a bad, bad week.

His lawyer started talking which was bad.

His immigration policy turned toxic.

He's now in a tariff war with...well everyone.

He abandoned key roles in the UN.

The full story of his idiotic G7 behavior came out.

His wife went from absent to toxic and Ivanka's role can't get smaller either.

The Nobel voters made fun of him, meaning he has zero chance at that prize so he kissed as to Kim for nothing. And, yeah, him being all pals with the North Korean will be on campaign poster come Nov.

His party in congress just abandon him and he basically has resorted to asking voters to give him a new congress.

The thing he could count on was the economy but man if that turns sour this summer, TIMBER......because his cabinet is incompetent, he's crazy, and none of these stories are going away. Dems come September are going to open the flood gates on them all.

Oh, and he's got an independent prosecutor looking everything and more.
