President Trump is questioning his advisers’ advice about remaining silent on the alleged affairs he had before taking office, the Wall Street Journal reports.

The affairs are now being widely reported on the news networks that the president watches frequently. He’s discussed the idea of fighting back against the allegations on Twitter.

New York Times: “Inside the West Wing, aides described an atmosphere of bewildered resignation as they grappled with the all-too-familiar task of predicting and reacting in real time to Mr. Trump’s shifting moods.”

“Aides said there was no grand strategy to the president’s actions, and that he got up each morning this week not knowing what he would do. Much as he did as a New York businessman at Trump Tower, Mr. Trump watched television, reacted to what he saw on television and then reacted to the reaction.”

“Aides said he was still testing his limits as president while also feeling embattled by incoming fire — from Congress, the Russia investigation, foreign entanglements, a potential trade war and a pornographic film actress and a Playboy model who said they had affairs with Mr. Trump and were paid to keep quiet.”

“Incoming National Security Advisor John Bolton and people close to him are expected to launch a massive shake-up at the National Security Council, aiming to remove dozens of current White House officials, starting with holdovers from President Barack Obama’s administration,” Foreign Policy reports.

“Those targeted for removal include officials believed to have been disloyal to President Trump, those who have leaked about the president to the media, his predecessor’s team, and those who came in under Obama.”

“The day after an interview with a former Playboy model who claims to have had a 10-month affair with her husband, first lady Melania Trump opted to leave President Trump alone for the ride from the White House to Andrews Air Force Base,” CNN reports.

Jonathan Swan: “Trump is doing what he used to do at Trump Tower. He’s waking up, watching cable news, making phone calls, watching more cable news, having some meetings, taking more calls (sometimes from cable news hosts and guests), watching more cable news. And improvising all the way.”

Maggie Haberman: “Really wish more people would stop convincing themselves there’s a grand plan at work. Newt Gingrich had a line about how Trump gets up every day not knowing what he’s doing to do. It’s true.”
