Is it just me or does Trump looks like a weak, old man after the midterm elections? Before the elections, Trump was going to 3-4 places everyday drumming up support for his candidates. Never mind he was only going to places where he had a good chance to win so that he can claim victory afterwards. He seem very energetic then but not anymore.
He missed couple of ceremonies while in France. He claimed that the weather and security were problems. But that didn't stop other world leaders to go to the destinations. The guy who claims to be tough looked weak among other national leaders. Back home, he didn't go to Veterans Day ceremony. This is not just looking weak but also a gut punch to all the veterans who served this county bravely. He sent Pence to Asia instead going there himself. This is a concession of soft power to people like Xi of China. In Asia, "face" is very important. This is a big loss of face for the U.S.
Trump fired Sessions right after the midterms. Sessions' firing was expected for months. But as predicted it was done after the midterms so that it won't look bad before the elections. Well, it looks bad now, just as it did when he fired Comey. It looks worse when he appointed Whitaker to be the interim AG. Whitaker was appointed obviously only because he was a mouthpiece for Trump. But Trump then claimed that he didn't know Whitaker. So why did he appointed him if he didn't know him? Plus there is a tape of Trump saying he knows Whitaker well. What a liar!
Trump took away CNN journalist's white house credentials and posted a doctored video of the incidence that the white house claim as the reason for doing so. Even Fox News came out in support of CNN on this. Is he so weak that he has to take away the freedom of the press?
Melanie Trump is calling for the firing of a national security officer. This is highly unusual for the first lady to publicly call for a firing. Is Trump going to follow his wife's wish or is he going to placate John Bolton who had brought in this protege of his? Is Trump so weak that he can't control his own wife's message?
Look for more firing in the days ahead. Also look for more blame of Democrats, the Federal Bank etc. if the stocks go down. Oh, he had already done so. It appears now Trump is only energetic when he is trying to deflect blame from himself!
