More news on the Trump front, of course.
What is it now?
Well, he apparently has gotten very angry at arguably the one man who showed any real stability in his administration, John Kelly.
Yes, that's right. The one guy who seems a bit more thoughtful and composed, and you know that shit does not fly with this President. Kelly was brought in to try and bring some stability to this White House, but Trump, almost as a rule, makes a point of being unpredictable and, frankly, unstable. So, you had to know that there was going to be a conflict.
It was just a matter of time, really.
The split seemed to begin when Kelly was answering questions about Trump's wall between the U.S.-Mexico border. Kelly had suggested that Trump's talk and promises regarding the wall during the Presidential campaign were "uninformed," and that a wall spanning the entire border just was not feasible.
As if to back up his claims, Kelly told FOX News that the President "has evolved in the way he looks at things."
Of course, that kind of thing does not fly with the man currently holding the Office of the President. He has never been able to admit to being wrong with anything, at anytime. And so naturally, he resorted to what he does second best, right after scamming people to get what he wants, and that is name-calling, like a child in the school yard. He referred to Kelly, a member of his own team, as a "nut job."
This is a political ally, mind you. One that Trump picked himself (supposedly). Here, specifically, is what Trump said to a friend, according to Vanity Fair:
"I’ve got another nut job here who thinks he’s running things.”
Very presidential, huh?
Then, as if all of that were not clear enough, Trump set out tweets a few days ago, just to prove that he had not changed his mind one iota. Here they are:
The Wall is the Wall, it has never changed or evolved from the first day I conceived of it. Parts will be, of necessity, see through and it was never intended to be built in areas where there is natural protection such as mountains, wastelands or tough rivers or water..... 6:15 AM - Jan 18, 2018
....The Wall will be paid for, directly or indirectly, or through longer term reimbursement, by Mexico, which has a ridiculous $71 billion dollar trade surplus with the U.S. The $20 billion dollar Wall is “peanuts” compared to what Mexico makes from the U.S. NAFTA is a bad joke! 6:25 AM - Jan 18, 2018
So, there you go. Yet more White House drama, from the ultimate drama queen. Trump has that unbelievable ability of making drama like teenage girls, except without their level of maturity. Mind you, this is a 70+ year old man we are talking about!

I have to say, that even though it is already more than three weeks into this new year, I think that I will make more of a point of talking less about President Trump, and the idiocy that goes on at the White House with that clown in office. It does me no good, stresses me the hell out, and really, who needs that? It's not exactly like people are pounding down on my door, asking me to talk more about Trump. Hell, even though most people I know are not Trump fans, there are an alarming number of people that I know who actually are enthusiastic fans of Trump. It seems that I have lost a friendship or two over it, and if that is the case, frankly, so be it.
But it is aggravating me to keep talking about the lunacy, and it both frustrates and angers me to see as many enthusiastic supporters as there are who are all in favor of the continued circus act. Plus, Trump thrives on publicity, always wants to be front and center on everyone's mind, and not only wants, but seems to need the constant attention. Sometimes, it seems that it does not matter to him whether or not that attention is good or not, so long as he is getting the attention that he apparently needs. And since this man embodies so much of the worst traits of the nation, and since so many of these negative things in this country also require ratings, I sometimes (well, often) feel like I am falling right into that trap, and giving these clowns more of what they need, in some small way, and it feels sickening.
