The resignation of Hope Hicks this week, one of Trump’s most loyal and longest-serving aides, will remove the safety valve between a mercurial President and a cowering staff. Add to that mix the expected imminent departures of Chief of Staff John Kelly and National Security Advisor H. R. McMaster, the West Wing will be left without any stabilizing forces.
To make matters worse, time spent with the Trump administration has become a career liability and not a plus, so Trump will find it far more difficult to replace senior staffers without anyone experienced and competent.
And, of course, the looming and enlargening offstage presence of Special Counsel Robert Mueller and his team, who are conducting the criminal investigation of Trump and his associates, keeps spiking the anxiety level. Mueller has been widely reported to be now investigating Trump himself, his family, his business practices, and his potential obstruction of justice.
It's not like we weren't warned this would happen -- a chaotic and scandal-plagued businessman became chaotic and scandal-plagued candidate and now a chaotic and scandal-plagued President. It's all but impossible now to see how this could end well.

«HE» doesn't, again, listen to the states governers and business men from the 35 states that are doing good business with us, Canadians.
But the worst, not mentioning that since this bad decision, NYC stock market is plunging from day to day,it will be the bad effect on the house and cars prices that will be rising because USA isn't self sufficient in lumber wood and iron and aluminum.
All of these facts and many other are getting everyone very nervous when Trumpty Dumpty opens his big mouth or is tweeting without any intelligent second advice.
It's more than time to get rid of this clown.
