The White House.
Prior to January 20, 2017, it was the most powerful and respected place in the world.
Now? It’s turned into this:
Yes, it has turned into a daycare. The daycare that used to be the most powerful and envy of countries internationally has been diluted into a punchline for Jay Leno, Stephen Colbert, and Seth Meyers. A supervisor of this daycare is Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, who has called Trump either “a moron” or a “fucking moron,” depending upon your point of view. The other is are Chief of Staff John Kelly, who is tasked with keeping Trump acting like a good boy, especially on Twitter. Finally, we get to Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis, whose job it is to ensure Trump that the media is not a bunch of meanies.
I mean, we are at the point where Kelly, Tillerson, and Matti’s may be sending in tapes to Nanny 911 than actually doing what we taxpayers are funding them for! Seriously, these guys would actually be great at their jobs if Trump wasn’t throwing fits!
This latest episode of The Real World: White House got kicked off by Tennessee Senator Bob Corker, who had played the role of worn-out father to President Spoiled Brat. Corker had ‘bent over backwards for Trump’ throughout all the times his erratic behavior will lead us into World War III. He came out and called the White House ‘an adult day-care center’ whose staffers ‘must manage the child-in chief.’ New York Mag chronicles these episodes where Trump becomes unhinged under what is called ‘implosion watch.’
And that is true. We should be rallying around these people, not demonizing them. Those big three are the only people preventing Trump from pushing the button. I thought Ivanka and Jared were the adults, and positive influences in the White House? WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU TWO?
And it’s not just limited to these people that have had the unfortunate circumstance of dealing with the toddler-in-chief’s temper tantrums. All have tried varying tactics to distract him from things that will set him off. Former Chief of Staff Reince Priebus would delay whatever maddening requests the president wanted. Just simply telling him ‘no’ would set him off.
I often wonder what those stupid, crazy, and/or impossible requests of Trump were? Can I attack CNN and NBC News? Can I have unprotected sex with Vladimir Putin? Can I have my steak very well-done with ketchup?
Trump’s managers, as well as many members of the House and Senate, have shared the same sentiment with a Trump confidant that he is a ‘pressure cooker.’ If he doesn’t vent for a few days, he will explode. They’ve resigned to the fact that his venting is the ‘least-bad alternative.’ John Kelly’s days often end in, “Why?”
Same goes for the rest of the free world, Johnny.
