Everyday Trump isolates himself more and more

Think about it. OK fine the Dems basically were no-go in playing along with Trump from day one. Independents/Moderates have slowly but steadily peeled off and have large negative feelings/approval of him. Now, according to Politico/Quinnipiac, his white male base is going down to 47%. OK that's the voters.

Then you have Congress. Many in the Dem party are actively talking about treason, crimes, impeachment. Even some Republicans are talking about more investigations into Russians, firing of Comey, investigation of the now Russian shared intelligence this week, etc.

Foreign officials, mainly in Israel and Europe, are now discussing not sharing info with the Trump administration for fear of leaks/disclosures to foreign adversaries.

Business - While the stock market remains relatively strong Ford announces 20,000 jobs cut worldwide. Other Auto manufacturers to idle more time this summer. Housing starts just released and they are down again for two months.

Trump's own team is rumored to be behind closed doors screaming at each other. Mixed messages daily between Trump's actions and tweets and his Communication's team. The Senate Majority leader now bitching about drama from the White House and toning down their BS. Bob Corker openly talking about and Administration in a free fall.

How the hell Trump digs out of this mess is beyond me.

The only time he's left the White House in about ten days was to speak at Liberty University wasn't it? I think he went to his golf course on Sunday but they show pictures of him golfing by himself.

I can't go through that again. I will not survive. I don't know how I survived without losing my mind.
