Trump is Disintegrating Further into Madness, So Why Not Help Him Along?

"Both The Washington Post and The New York Times ran stories on Tuesday, revealing a chief executive who's quick to rage, easily bored and who's obsessed with his reputation and legitimacy. The Times reported: Mr. Trump grew increasingly angry on Inauguration Day after reading a series of Twitter messages pointing out that the size of his inaugural crowd did not rival that of Mr. Obama’s in 2009. But he spent his Friday night in a whirlwind of celebration and affirmation. When he awoke on Saturday morning, after his first night in the Executive Mansion, the glow was gone, several people close to him said, and the new president was filled anew with a sense of injury. The new president is injured by... crowd sizes? The Women's March was only the first out of many, by the way, minus the rallies following Election Day, and Trump's already completely flummoxed by his own insecurities and weaknesses. Meanwhile, The Washington Post informed us: President Trump had just returned to the White House on Saturday from his final inauguration event, a tranquil interfaith prayer service, when the flashes of anger began to build. Trump turned on the television to see a jarring juxtaposition — massive demonstrations around the globe protesting his day-old presidency and footage of the sparser crowd at his inauguration, with large patches of white empty space on the Mall. As his press secretary, Sean Spicer, was still unpacking boxes in his spacious new West Wing office, Trump grew increasingly and visibly enraged…Over the objections of his aides and advisers — who urged him to focus on policy and the broader goals of his presidency — the new president issued a decree: He wanted a fiery public response, and he wanted it to come from his press secretary. In other words, the President Of The United States is completely butthurt over the colossal magnitude of the protests. Worse, he clearly can't hold it together -- more evidence of his horrendously erratic temperament and upside-down instincts."
