Trump at a precarious moment in his presidency: Privately brooding and publicly roaring (WAPO)
WAPO ^ | 8/4/2018 | Philip Rucker, Robert Costa and Ashley Parker,

Posted on 08/05/2018 10:14:56 AM PDT by bitt

In private, President Trump spent much of the past week brooding, as he often does. He has been anxious about the Russia ­investigation’s widening fallout, with his former campaign chairman standing trial. And he has fretted that he is failing to accrue enough political credit for what he claims as triumphs.

At rare moments of introspection for the famously self-centered president, Trump has also expressed to confidants lingering unease about how some in his orbit — including his eldest son, Donald Trump Jr. — are ensnared in the Russia probe, in his assessment simply because of their ­connection to him.

Sounds like Fake News to me!

This president doesn’t brood.

He’s not brooding.

These people are at least uneducated or they pretend their readers are ... Well ...

Anyway, it is not in character for Trump to be sitting around for anything. He is on 24/7 and it is a project for him.

Do they not see what he has accomplished in his time in office? They want people to pretend he sits around caring about what people think of him?

You missed the "furrowed brow" indicative of "brooding"? That's one thing John f'n kohn-Heinz-Kerry can not do. Too much Botox for his brow to furrow. 💉😬

The WAPO is privately brooding and publicly roaring.

More projection!

Yeah, he sure looks crazy and pessimistic and depressed at all the rallies.

These idiots are desperate and are grasping at straws that they imagine.

To the Left, the Truth is what they want it to be.

Translation: Trump is doing something very good behind the scenes.

Which means it’s something Wapo doesn’t like.

Yeah, Mika kicked off the ‘Trump is mentally ill’ meme. Morning Joe haters are the gold standard of grease dripping liberal haters.

The rest of the corrupt press is picking up on this one too - it must have worked well with focus groups in flyover with suburban women.

I, for one, do not believe that Donald Trump “broods” or “agonizes” over much of anything. He is much to direct a personality to entertain dark thoughts, for more than an instant at most.

He is a very quick thinker, probably as a result of being in the real estate field in New York City in his earlier years. Donald J. Trump has an intellect of highest order, and he probably thinks of a dozen ways to maximize return on his investments in time and wealth, and advance his professed agenda, in the span of time it takes most of us to read through his most current tweets.

Try to keep up, folks. President Trump moves with what is comparatively lightning speed as compared to most of the denizens of the Deep State.

And rely on the dumbed down fools to believe it.

Yes, Trump’s body language reminds of Jimmy Carter during the last months of his Presidency. I hear he’s even wearing red sweaters and telling Melania to turn down the thermostat.
