From Politico:
Being president is harder than Donald Trump thought, according to aides and allies who say that he’s growing increasingly frustrated with the challenges of running the massive federal bureaucracy.

Well Chi-Town...I think that's you because of the negative Trump post and the tapatalk. In private enterprise there are plenty of obstacles and roadblocks to get the deal done. It would be a whole lot easier without all the goofy kids crying over the temporary ban. I have read "touching" stories from children who were in diapers when the towers were attacked.

He is a grown man and he must have terrific mental stability. He has been attacked in every way, shape and form and some of it was justified. Most people would not subject themselves to this kind of abuse, especially if their fortune was set and they were 70 years old.

I personally think he must have Asbergers Syndrome in some degree. He is obviously brilliant, but he is often inappropriate in language and social interchange. He is not able to frame his thoughts in words well, the way a student with Asbergers struggles. And he responds inappropriately to social cues. He thinks before he speaks and then he reevaluates what he said.

That's probably because he didn't fully realize until he got there just how screwed up and corrupt everything is. Kinda hard to visualize the magnitude of something until you are really in the middle of it. Unless someone is part of the problem, they wouldn't.

Oh BS...he knew EXACTLY what he was getting into...you don't think he's golfed with the last several presidents?

Add narcissistic psychopath to that...they ALL are..money and power...and fame.

We're ALL a little "touched" in SOME way. Read a story about that the other day...to be completely "normal" is abnormal. Why? Because everyone is in a different position on the bell curve...sometimes we're a little left anf sometimes a little right. Nobody sits right at the top in EVERY area.

That's probably because he didn't fully realize until he got there just how screwed up and corrupt everything is. Kinda hard to visualize the magnitude of something until you are really in the middle of it. Unless someone is part of the problem, they wouldn't.

He knew...he had HIS dealings with past presidents too...out on the golf course where the deals actually come to fruition.

So Dilly Who...how's Cindy Lou Who? She should be in her twenties by now...how'd she turn out?

What he is finding out is that the democrats still have not recovered from losing the election.
They are on a revenge fit to obstruct anything from Trump....good or bad.

And if he misses anything and is frustrated by anything it would be he no longer has the ability to fire , dismiss, get rid of the perpetrators.

It is one thing to have a difference of opinion and a preference for one set of beliefs over another. It is quite another when people elected to office, sworn to represent the will of the people, feel they have to put America second in the name of their party and their personal security.

The crooked, phony, crumudgeon, crony, establishment, both R & D, place a higher value on their personal and partisan positions than they do for America or it's people.

Absolutely shameful.

Interesting observation. Hmmm.

The negativity generated by Trump's opponents has saturated news with only progressives point of view, opinions, biases, hate, etc . Trump could walk on water and progressives would find something to criticize.

The noise over Trump is about the man not the policies. Trump indeed has a strong stomach and a strong ego. a weaker man would have buckled long ago.

Trump will stand firm and he will work through all the controversy and he will come out ahead.

The above most deservedly bears repeating and amplification:

As reported by the Independent Journal, a publication that leans right.

I say this because so many on here think everything is some liberal conspiracy. I cite a few comments on this source at end of post.

"Of the 725 registered voters who were surveyed, Public Policy Polling (PPP) found that 51% thought Senator John McCain (R-AZ) had more credibility than the president.

Who else did 51% consider to have more credibility than Trump? The New York Times.

On January 30 and 31, registered voters were also asked if they would support impeaching Donald Trump. Despite an overall 47% approval rating from the poll, the results showed an alarming trend:

Support impeaching Donald Trump: 40%
Oppose impeaching Donald Trump: 48%
Not sure: 12%
Even after Watergate, former President Richard Nixon only reached 26% impeachment support, according to Pew Research, which makes support for the impeachment of Donald Trump by 40% of voters surveyed even more staggering."

"During the 2016 election, Independent Journal Review was the most engaged website per news story on Facebook, topping social media competitors Buzzfeed and The New York Times. [10] In November 2016, Independent Journal Review became one of the first two digital media companies accepted into the News Media Alliance, formerly the Newspaper Association of America. [11][12]

In January 2017, the website was noted for being the first major U.S. news outlet to confirm that Judge Neil Gorsuch would be nominated by President Donald Trump for the Supreme Court.[13]"

This from a man who accused me of fake news, and was challenged by me to show proof, as I did when he plagiarized twice, cited absolute fake news twice. In every case, I gave links, tied your words clearly.

Yet you never even comment to me..class guy

On my most recent post, where you continue to use the same words and accusations on fellow Americans, ethics may not count with you, but it does for most Americans. One staff member on tape violating ethics rules, President on the edge, and now we have Flynn.

If the allegations are true, there should be intense investigation, and people prosecuted to the fullest extend.

If Chaffee is blowing smoke, he needs to be impeached.



"House Oversight Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz had some harsh words for the protesters that packed the Republican’s Utah town hall Thursday.

Discussing the raucous gathering with constituents where he faced a chorus of boos and steady grilling, Chaffetz told the Deseret News that the protest crowd included people brought in from outside his district specifically to be disruptive.

“Absolutely. I know there were,” Chaffetz told the Salt Lake City-based paper. He added that the meeting, held at a high school auditorium, was “more of a paid attempt to bully and intimidate” rather than a true showcase of how voters in his Utah district felt.

The newspaper didn’t say how he supported his assertions."

"CBS News has learned that the 35-page dossier compiled by a former British spy is gaining credibility among law enforcement. Before he was sworn in as President, Donald Trump dismissed the document, but sources tell CBS News that investigators continue to vet it to see whether there is any truth to the allegations.


At issue is whether the Russian government gathered compromising information on the president during his years of doing business in country as a private citizen. The FBI is leading the investigation but several intelligence agencies are also involved. Typically an investigation of this scale would involve the sources and methods of the CIA and NSA. CNN first reported the sustained interest in the dossier by the intelligence community.

"North Korea fired an unidentified projectile early on Sunday into the sea off the east coast of the Korean peninsula, the South Korean military said.

The object was launched from an area in North Korea's western region, the South's Office of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a short statement. It did not provide further details."

This is interesting on top of all this....

"
The hermit regime of Kim Jong-un in North Korea doesn’t have many friends. However, it seems the ties to its original benefactor, the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin, remain strong. The official North Korean news agency in Pyongyang, KCNA, recently listed Russia as topping its BFF list, with Putin getting the first Lunar New Year holiday card.

Russia supplies the majority of fuel to North Korea and recently opened up new channels of cooperation in developing the railroad links between the two countries, which includes North Koreans studying in Russian transportation universities in Siberia.
With the bromance between The Donald and Vlad blossoming, perhaps Russia is in a position to rein in the North Korean strong man and his nuclear ambitions."
