Rep. Charlie Dent (R-PA) appeared on Morning Joe Tuesday morning to decry the latest series of tweets from President Donald Trump.
During the segment, Dent was asked whether Trumps decision to publicly attack Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who has long been one of his staunchest political allies, made him doubt the presidents ability to effectively lead the country. Dent didnt hesitate to reply that it did.
Im very concerned about the continuing drama, chaos, instability, and dysfunction coming out of the White House, he said. I have come to expect a certain amount of dysfunction in government, but theyve taken the fun out of dysfunction.
Dent then went on to describe the toll that Trumps actions have taken on members of Congress.
This is really tough, he said. This is not easy for any of us. Talking about, the FBI director gets fired, now trying to push the attorney general out
And there was discussion last week about pushing out or firing [special counsel Robert] Mueller. I mean, you cant fire the FBI. The investigations are going to continue. I just dont I dont understand why all this interference. Its not helpful, and its very distracting. We have a lot of work to do on Capitol Hill, but we deal with this daily drama, and it doesnt make your job easier.

(7,888 posts)I look forward to his voice when the matter shows up on the House agenda. Until then, worth less than a grain of salt.

(63,221 posts)news and hearing something about Trump or from Trump that makes my blood boil. I am sick of being angry and filled with despair every day. I just want him to go away, by hook or by crook.
