Did President Trump start the week by deciding to give Americans everything they don’t want for Christmas?
Trump is losing his secretary of defense, the most widely respected member of his Cabinet. He’s bugging out of Syria (and possibly also Afghanistan) without even telling our allies. And his days of erratic demands seemed designed to provoke a long (if partial) government shutdown.
Indeed, it was hard to tell which was more volatile: the president or the stock markets.
Trump’s core base may support him no matter what, but he’s putting his larger support from mainstream Republicans at risk. If he keeps this up, he’ll face rising resistance not just from Capitol Hill Democrats, but much of the congressional GOP.
