"I think the Democrats are trying to make things hard for him," Robin Hall said as she sat in the grandstands on Friday.

The 53-year-old daycare worker dismissed the chaos cascading into the White House in recent weeks as sour grapes from critics still shocked that Trump's populist revolt thrust him into the top job.

"They've got their so-called panties in a wad right now," she said. "They're not in control."

Exactly four months into his administration, Trump is by most accounts a leader under siege.

Democrats accuse him of obstructing justice by urging FBI director James Comey to halt an investigation into an adviser, then firing Comey -- the very person overseeing an investigation into his team's possible collusion with Russian meddling during last year's election campaign.

I read it. Santorum said “this can’t continue”. He’s correct. This crazy talk has to be stopped by strong action from the administration. Santorum seems to be contradicting the administration’s belief that establishment Republicans are on Trump’s side.
