Hell Month

The New Yorker published an excellent short article (link here) about how Donald Trump's presidency could end up on the rocks next month.

The piece starts with a nice overview on how Trump is the weakest, least effective President in modern history. He has had no legislative achievements after nearly a year in office and is mired in scandal, something more commonly seen in a final year of a President's time in office, not the first.

And there will be no easy outs for him in the month ahead. The government is racing toward a shutdown. The GOP will try to pass a deeply unpopular tax plan but the chances for that are not good.

Trump's party controls Congress, yet he can't get anything substantive done. He's so busy on Twitter, on the golf course, and mired in some self-sabotaged crisis that he's like a man caught in an avalanche.

Remember when Trump bragged how he would be so much better than a typical politician? Maybe he actually believed that, but one way or another it turned out to be a whopping lie.

He is the worst President since James Buchanan. The only thing amazing about his presidency is how he continues to deceive his base into believing he's a success.
