Trump's week of tumult shakes many in GOP

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

One of the most tumultuous weeks in President Trump’s turbulent two years in office has turned up the spotlight on divisions between the White House and Republicans — particularly on foreign policy.

Trump in the last week has announced the removal of all U.S. troops from Syria and a reduction in the U.S. presence in Afghanistan, two decisions that represented a reversal from more than a decade of GOP strategy in the war against terrorism. The top U.S. envoy in the fight against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) resigned.

The decisions on Syria and Afghanistan contributed to Defense Secretary James Mattis’s resignation — a move that rattled lawmakers in both parties who had long seen the respected general as a calming or even stabilizing influence on an administration viewed at times as erratic.

On Sunday, Trump, seemingly stung by that narrative, announced Mattis would be out on Jan. 1 — two months earlier than previously planned.

1. I don't think it will improve.

He's in a critical chaos flux.

2. I'm tired of the shaken GOP

They're just discovering NOW that Trump is off his rocker? That he is methodically destroying the country? Many of them are in Congress...a Congress that, until January 3 (O blessed day!) is controlled by the GOP. Granted, Trump is unraveling before our eyes, but he's always been a lunatic. Congressional Republicans have the power to do something, not simply be "shaken." They've let it go on for two years.

The Reckoning is coming.

3. Yep

Till the members of congress get a spine and stand up to this asshole, things will continue to get worse. I honestly think some of them are compromised in one way or another. Be it Russian money, or blackmail, they are afraid to do the right thing. We can only hope that enough of them put country before loyalty to trump and impeachment becomes a reality.

I think once democrats take control of the house, things may change, and I am willing to bet there will be conversations with republicans in the Senate about ending the nightmare of trump!
