Listening to the news every day is more alarming than the next. Something big is coming....

Not only does every day bring new shocks in terms of Trump's executive orders, but it feels like the pace and degree of severity of the changes is accelerating too. The levers of power have been handed to a petulant child. And as he plays with the controlls we are starting to see the fallout.

His first spate of executive orders were largely predictable as indeed is the current immigration ban. But with this one we are now starting to see the effects of his presidency globally and not just at home. His travel ban has caused chaos at airports around the world. Countries have in tern banned Us citizens. You can just feel global tensions being would tighter than a watch spring.

It's more than that though. I can't quite explain it but I think others will agree, there is just this dreaded feeling in the air. Something hard to describe but palpable. Like the tension in the air in a room just before a riot breaks out. It's something one picks up on at a sub conscious level. I could be wrong. I hope I am. But I feel it in my bones. Something big is coming....

This is my biggest fear. Trump has all but declared war on them and they are getting ready for it, fast.

Each half is angry at the other. Trump's first week increased the anger. Something is going to break.

This can't keep up. I think his own party will stop him. I saw a few Republicans speaking out today and I can't imagine that Customs workers have much heart for this.
