According to a new report, President Trump is so emotionally unstable that his aides have to hide information from his to keep from setting him off. Trump also makes policy based on printouts of Internet stories, which are sometimes fake news that is handed to him by staff.
Politico described a White House where people walk on eggshells trying not to set Trump off:
When Trump bellows about this or that story, his aides often scramble in a game of cat-and-mouse to figure out who alerted the president to the piece in the first place given that he rarely browses the Internet on his own. Some in the White House describe getting angry calls from the president and then hustling over to Trump’s personal secretary, Madeleine Westerhout, to ferret who exactly had just paid a visit to the Oval Office and possibly set Trump off.
….
He uses the Internet minimally, other than tweeting and tracking his mentions, so what other news stories he sees can be more haphazard. Trump does receive a daily binder of news clippings put together his communications team, but White House officials disagreed about how much he reads those. White House and former campaign aides have tried to make sure Trump’s media diet includes regular doses of praise and positive stories to keep his mood up – a tactic honed by staff during the campaign to keep him from tweeting angrily.
Trump doesn’t read briefing books, doesn’t read information on his own. He gets his news from some newspapers and cable news. In other words, the President Of The United States is less informed than the people in the government that he is supposed to be running.
The reason why Republicans are failing to govern despite total control of the federal government is easy to see. The Republican Party has no one steering the ship. Instead, they have an uninformed and out of touch Trump constantly veering in different directions based on his mood.
A president that is so emotionally unstable that information has been hidden from him is not a man who is fit to be president.
Trump’s volcanic nature is a threat to every single American. The man is emotionally unstable, and there is no limit to what he might decide to do in the midst of an emotional outburst.
The best argument for electing a Democratic Congress in 2018 is that they will be able to provide a check on the clearly unstable Trump. The process of minimizing Trump with the goal of getting him out of office begins at the ballot box in 2018.
