“Not since Richard Nixon started talking to the portraits on the walls of the West Wing has a president seemed so alone against the world,” Gloria Borger writes.
“One source — who is a presidential ally — is worried, really worried. The source says this past week is ‘different,’ that advisers are scared the President is spiraling, lashing out, just out of control. For example: Demanding to hold a public session where he made promises on trade tariffs before his staff was ready, not to mention willing.”
Said the source: “This has real economic impact. Something is very wrong.”
