He has finally realized how far in over his head he is. Let's keep up the pressure. What I'm wondering about is how the rest of the world will fill the vacuum that America leaves behind in its lack of leadership. Things are about to become extremely fluid.

Trump isn't running the country. Bannon is running the country.

Remember what Trump said when he offered the vice presidency to Kasich? A vice presidency that included all powers, foreign and domestic, that the President would typically wield? When asked what his- Trump's- role would be in that scenario?

He said, my job is to make America great again.

That's it. That's his job. Spewing mantras. Acting. Being a showman. Producing images and soundbites for mass consumption.

Not to think. Not to lead. Certainly not to govern as the ultimate public servant in the USA.

He's a fraud, a puppet, a mouthpiece, a placeholder, an actor, an impostor, a surrogate, a plant.

But he is assuredly not the President of the United States of America.
