President Trump is flailing like a man who fears hes about to go under, and he hasnt even been in office a full month. His instinct is to flee to the warmth and comfort of his political base but he will learn that while presidents can run, they cant hide.
Trumps administration faces two acute, interlocking crises: serious questions about his campaigns contacts with official and unofficial representatives of the Russian government, which U.S. intelligence agencies believe made concerted efforts to help Trump win the election; and appalling levels of dysfunction in the White House that make self-inflicted wounds the rule rather than the exception.
The presidents response has been to rant on Twitter and schedule a campaign-style rally Saturday in Florida both of which may boost Trumps morale but will do nothing to make his problems go away.
It is unclear whether Trump is trying to fool the nation or fool himself. Witness one of the angry tweets he sent out Thursday morning: The Democrats had to come up with a story as to why they lost the election, and so badly (306), so they made up a story RUSSIA. Fake news!
