If you've been reading the news, you will notice that Trump is not getting along well with members of his own party. He's been feuding with Senator Jeff Flake of Arizona, even supporting Flake's Republican competitor in his Senate race for 2018. He's been feuding with Senator John McCain, also from Arizona for not voting to repeal Obamacare. Although Trumphad a problem with McCain during the election for God knows why. After being reminded McCain was a war hero Trump stated "I like heroes who weren't captured, okay?" Now, just recently, Trump made a phone call to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. Trump berated him and cursed at him making sure McConnell knew that he needed to be protecting Trump from the Russia investigation. According to sources, Trump is constantly talking about and thinking about the Russia investigation. He is calling and berating many Republican Senators, not to ask for help, but emphatically telling them they need to protect him. So, what does this all mean for the Trump administration? Why is Trump so fixed on something he tells his base is fake news?
There is only one logical reason why Trump is so concerned about the Russia investigation. He and his campaign are guilty of collusion. There is too much evidence to be circumstantial. If he is guilty, yelling and berating the Senators that will potentially oversee any and all impeachment proceedings isn't the way to handle this situation. Trump, however, has never witnessed or been a part of a court case that he couldn’t just settle out of court. Attacking your colleagues in congress is also not how a president should act. Mitch McConnell put up a road block with President Obama, basically blocking everything Obama tried to get through congress and they were from different parties. This feuding is only going to lead to one thing: more Democrats in both houses of Congress.
Meanwhile in Pheonix, Arizona, Trump gave an almost incoherent campaign speech. That's right folks. This was a speech paid by his re-election campaign for 2020, and yes, I know what you are thinking. The money donated to this campaign can be used to pay for Trump and Trump Jr.'s criminal lawyers. Wow, isn't campaigning fun? The speech was a jumbled mess. He again brought up what happened in Charlottesville. Not by giving a moving tribute to the young lady who was killed, but to clarify his statement he gave about there being "violence on many sides, many sides." He also managed to get in a few kicks to the news media who, in his opinion, were just way too hard on him. The whole speech was nothing more than a pick me up, which is something he needed after the terrible week he just had and because his skin is so thin.
Hopefully this will show other Republican leaders and congresspeople what others have been seeing since he came down that escalator. Trump only cares about Trump. We are only seven months in and this illegitimate president is on the verge of resigning or being impeached. Who knows how much longer we have or how much more our country can take? Resist.
