Trump ‘hates’ Mattis letter and rages about news coverage suggesting he needs ‘adult day care’
Trump hates the media coverage “even more.” Acosta said that Mattis and other people like White House Chief of Staff John Kelly were often perceived as the adults in the room.
the president once again irritated by this notion here in Washington that
he is sometimes is in need of adult day care,”

'They're going to absolutely crush him': Trump is reportedly panicking and 'losing it' as Democrats finally gain the upper hand
He didn't realize he's playing a losing game.
His performance in the government funding fight, in which he first promised he'd be
"proud" to shut down the government in exchange for border wall spending,
then backed down from the fight, and then reversed himself again,
proved he's a terrible negotiator and
an even worse statesman.
“He’s losing it,” a former White House official told Gabriel Sherman of Vanity Fair.
“He doesn’t know which way to turn.”
Not only will Pelosi's House be able to block his preferred legislation,
it will also besiege the president with investigations.
“They’re absolutely going to crush him," one Republican told Sherman of the president.
"He has no idea what’s coming his way.”

Trump reportedly rages at video of his incoming Chief of Staff calling him a 'terrible human being'
he’s furious that his incoming chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney, said mean things about him.
Trump asked one trusted adviser: "Did you know [Mulvaney] called me ‘a terrible human being’ back during the campaign?
just wait until someone tells him that he probably shouldn’t go to Mar-A-Lago for a golf holiday after he just shut down the government …

Donald Trump understands better than most that one scandal is a problem, but a thousand is a statistic.
It’s official. We lost the Cold War.
Trump’s unraveling of the post-war order accelerated this week when he announced
a willy-nilly pullout from Syria,
leaving in the lurch scores of allies who participated in the campaign against the Islamic State,
throwing our Kurdish partners to the wolves,
isolating Israel, and
giving Russia and Iran free rein in the Middle East.
Then word emerged that Trump is ordering another hasty withdrawal, from Afghanistan.
the president’s estrangement of allies and emboldening of Russia and China.
we don’t need an alternative-history show to imagine a Soviet victory in the Cold War. We have Trump.
Mattis spelled out the views of his that are apparently not “aligned” with Trump’s:
“treating allies with respect,”
believing in the 29 NATO democracies (Trump has repeatedly raised questions about NATO’s utility);
respecting the 74-nation “defeat-ISIS coalition” (now to be abandoned in Syria); and
recognizing threats from China and Russia, which “want to shape a world consistent with their authoritarian model
. . . at the expense of their neighbors, America and our allies.”
a Soviet leader hardly could have outlined a better scenario than Trump has created for Putin:A rift between the United States and NATO allies over the future of the alliance.
A U.S. demand that Russia be returned to the Group of Seven , as Russia continues provocations in Ukraine.
A U.S. threat to pull out of the World Trade Organization, and a round of U.S.-imposed tariffs that severely weakened it.
A U.S. president abandoning human rights, accepting Saudi Arabia’s murder of a U.S.-based journalist and embracing repressive leaders around the globe.
A U.S. president creating a rift with Europe over Iran (the nuclear agreement) and climate change (the Paris accord).
A U.S. president embracing as “very honorable” North Korea’s brutal dictator without any tangible concessions on nuclear weapons.
A U.S.-launched trade war that, the Federal Reserve said this week, is partially responsible for cooling worldwide growth.
Lost confidence among Americans in elections, the Justice Department, the FBI, the courts and the free press.
And the loss of a bipartisan consensus against the Russian threat.
Forty percent of Republicans called Russia an ally or friend in a Gallup poll,up from 22 percent in 2014.
Trump accepted Putin’s word over that of U.S. intelligence agencies.
Trump has chafed at aides’ insistence on Russia sanctions, and
the few who could resist Trump’s pro-Putin instincts are gone: H.R. McMaster, Rex Tillerson, John Kelly and now Mattis.
29 years after the wall fell,
Trump is handing Moscow the Cold War victory
it could never win.

leaving many federal workers and contractors without a paycheck over the Christmas holiday.
according to GOP strategist and spokesperson for the California Republican Party Jen Kerns,
most Americans don’t care.
“I don’t think the American people have much sympathy, unfortunately, for
bureaucrats and some paper pushers in Washington D.C.,”
the bureaucrats in Washington, D.C. did not suffer as the rest of Americans did with
the Obama recession.
They got cost of living increases year after year.”

the president’s relationship with his closest family members is collapsing.
Trump has been telling close associates he feels “totally and completely abandoned,” and
that no one is on his side,
while also privately confiding some on the White House are working against him —
including son-in-law Jared Kushner.
Trump’s relationship with his kids “has grown more removed and that he feels he does not have a friend in the White House.”
president reportedly disagrees with Kushner and Ivanka Trump “much of the time,”
but is unable to tell them “no” and
has used outgoing Chief of Staff John Kelly to do his dirty work —
which led to strained relations and may be a contributing factor behind his imminent departure.
the embattled Trump is also abandoning his longtime friends,
Mr. Trump has spent far less time lately with older friends at White House events,
appearing briefly for pictures to be taken before heading upstairs instead of mingling.

this asshole and above all you assholes who elected him, and still support him
For Trump, ‘a War Every Day,’ Waged Increasingly Alone
At the midpoint of his term,
the president has grown more sure of his own judgment
and more isolated from anyone else’s than at any point since he took office.
When President Trump grows frustrated with advisers during meetings,
which is not an uncommon occurrence,
he sits back in his chair, crosses his arms and scowls. Often he erupts.
“ ing idiots!” he calls his aides.
For two years, Mr. Trump has waged war against his own government,
convinced that people around him are fools.
Angry that they resist his wishes,
uninterested in the details of their briefings,
he becomes especially agitated
when they tell him he does not have the power to do what he wants,
which makes him su ious that they are secretly undermining him.
Mr. Trump is said by advisers to be
consumed by the multiplying investigations that have taken down
his personal lawyer,
campaign chairman,
national security adviser and
family foundation.
He rails against enemies, who often were once friends,
nursing a deep sense of betrayal and grievance as they turn on him.
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/22/u...two-years.html
Republicans anticipate a battle over whether Mr. Trump committed high crimes and misdemeanors
even if they hold enough votes in the Senate to block removal.
“Nothing he’s going to face in the next two years is going to be like the challenges of the previous two years,”
“Given the staff turnover and
the increasing feeling that the president is encircled or cornered by legal and political enemies,
it’s entirely possible it gets worse, not better.”

An Isolated Trump is Reportedly Watching More TV Than Ever and Often Starts His Day at 11
he is retreating to spending time alone, which means he is watching more television than ever.
What has euphemistically long been known as “executive time” is lasting longer.
The commander in chief doesn’t just watch television in the residence for hours though,
he also leaves Fox News while in the West Wing
so he can always keep track of what is being said about him.
