... What's important is not that Trump is angry or thinks he is ill-served ... He thinks that .. all the time. What's different .. is that three of the people he trusts most -- his daughter Ivanka, his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and .. aide Hope Hicks -- are either leaving .. or .. in jeopardy of being forced to leave ...

... Hicks' title is .. less important than how Trump regarded her: as a trusted loyalist .. when everyone else thought his .. candidacy was a joke ...

... The .. stories on Kushner have occasioned talk that he might not be able to even approximate the job he has been assigned in the Trump White House and may have to move on ...

... Trump is likely to get even more unpredictable in the weeks to come ...

1. It's full-blown 'unraveling time'!

Move away from the fan

[struggle4progress]

7. As a precaution, Twitter may want to upgrade their circuits and fuse banks

[malaise]

8. ROFL

Ha

[Doodley]

2. This could be a trigger event that will lead the psychopathic mind towards a violent conclusion.

Similar to a school shooter, Trump will feel isolated, abandoned and seek vengeance with the world that has mocked him, but Trump might not use a gun. He has missiles.

13. This is what terrifies me.

He's crazier than a rat in a coffee can.

21. Reminds me of the Dead zone character Greg Stillson

Omg

[Kablooie]

3. I heard that Melania and Baron don't live in the White House either.

This is from someone who lives in Washington D.C.

They live in a separate house and she only visits the White House and sees Trump when there is a particular reason.

6. The article says they are in NY. n/t

[mopinko]

11. quoting an old article.

says they are there now, but....

[Ms. Toad]

14. Thanks. I checked the top of the article to make sure it was current,

but didn't check the preceding paragraph.

[Princess Turandot]

15. That part is referring back to 2/2017:

"I keep thinking back to the early days of Trump's time in the White House -- when he was largely alone and unhappy. This, from a stunning New York Times story in February of 2017, is the image that sticks in my head:

"Usually around 6:30 p.m., or sometimes later, Mr. Trump retires upstairs to the residence to recharge, vent and intermittently use Twitter. With his wife, Melania, and young son, Barron, staying in New York, he is almost always by himself, sometimes in the protective presence of his imposing longtime aide and former security chief, Keith Schiller..."

[Ms. Toad]

16. Thanks. I checked the date of this article, since I thought it must be an old article

but not the preceding paragraph.

4. We've all been waiting for this, I think. FINALLY! nt

[Ms. Toad]

5. Hmm . . . I missed this:

With his wife, Melania, and young son, Barron, staying in New York

Not surprised, but I figured there would be a splash if she moved back to NY.

9. Is Painter pissed or what?

On Chris Hayes now

[honest.abe]

10. He is nearing his breaking point.

I think those three you have mentioned have been his main support and have been able to shield him from reality up until now. Once he realizes that most people think he's lunatic he's going to have serious melt down. The question is what he will do when that happens.

[winetourdriver01]

12. Unpredictable

He is going to become very erratic. The wildcard is the military, which way will they jump when Trump loses his shit? He is their C n C.

[Blue_true]

20. I watched some testimony by the General that leads the NSA.

He seems to be frustrated with Trump, but did not come out and say so outright.

[ffr]

17. Screw these conservative bastards. All of 'em!

LOCK THEM UP!

[BobTheSubgenius]

18. Does anyone know?

What comes after "rabid wolverine huffing spray paint?"

[eleny]

19. Hopefully he'll throw in the towel
