It's time for the rats to leave Trump's sinking ship

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/its-time-for-the-rats-to-leave-trumps-sinking-ship/2018/11/19/1720f592-ec3c-11e8-96d4-0d23f2aaad09_story.html?tid=hybrid_collaborative_2_na

Like a television show that has jumped the shark, President Trump’s frantic act grows more desperate and pathetic by the day.

Asked by Chris Wallace of “Fox News Sunday” to grade his presidency, Trump absurdly replied: “Look, I hate to do it, but I will do it, I would give myself an A-plus. Is that enough? Can I go higher than that?”

Much closer to the mark is the assessment by Republican lawyer and operative George Conway, the husband of one of Trump’s closest White House aides, counselor Kellyanne Conway: “The administration is like a s---show in a dumpster fire.”

And it is all getting worse. The cravenness, incompetence, corruption, dysfunction, insanity — all of it.

....at this time is an attempt to undermine the Mueller investigation.
