Trump "increasingly angry over the investigation, yelling at television sets in the White House"
Trump advisers and confidants describe the president as increasingly angry over the investigation, yelling at television sets in the White House carrying coverage and insisting he is the target of a conspiracy to discredit — and potentially end — his presidency. Some of his ire is aimed at Rosenstein and investigative special counsel Robert Mueller, both of whom the president believes are biased against him, associates say.

“The message the president is sending through his tweets is that he believes the rule of law doesn’t apply to him and that anyone who thinks otherwise will be fired,” Feinstein said. “That’s undemocratic on its face and a blatant violation of the president’s oath of office.”
Aides have counseled the president to stay off Twitter and focus on other aspects of his job. They have tried to highlight the positive reviews he received Wednesday when he made a statesman-like appearance in the White House to address the nation after Rep. Steve Scalise was shot during a congressional baseball practice.
Yet Trump’s angry tweets on Friday underscored the near-impossible challenge his advisers and legal team have in trying to get him to avoid weighing in on an active probe.

I routinely yell at mine, and mutter other nasty things when I hear tRump speak, or one of his minions.
I figure either I yell, or else I blow a gasket!
I'd rather yell.
in a room with trump on the tv?
it would probably be absolutely hysterical--kind of like a political skew of the rocky horror picture show and the audience!
(suffice to say you are not the only one who yells at their tv)
It makes me smile!
I sure hear you about yelling at the TV.

why would his "advisors and confidants" let that info out? Don't confidants keep issues confidential?
Don't they care about protecting cheatos privacy and sense of putting on a good front.. as the shite goes down?
