Seriously, I think the problem is that Trump is both naturally disruptive and uncontrollable. This should not be a surprise. How many sons of wealthy New Yorkers, who are not discipline problems, are sent to military school? A generation later, he would have been seeing a psychologist from an early age and probably diagnosed with something.

This last week shows that. In the campaign or even in some past problems, it would be possible to say that there was a gain by acting inappropriately. However, there is no way that green lighting the vulgar vitriol expressed by the man in charge of communications - ie crafting the message for the administration - did anything other than expose what a rat's nest his inner circle is.

The long series of tweets today are completely weird as they seem to be a reaction to the failure to repeal Obamacare. He ignores that it was under reconciliation and they needed NO Democrats and could lose just 2 Republicans. His comment that the Democrats would change the rule ignores that even when Obama had 59 Senators, the Democrats did not change the rule from 60 to say 55. They got the 2 or 3 Republicans they needed.

But, the actual message of the tweets, is not the issue - it is that he actually demeans the Republicans and probably makes it harder for them to work on any bipartisan bills. I hope at some point, the Congressional Republicans realize that he will not have their back. He will second guess every failure - and create his own reality that he would not have done it that way.
