I doubt Trump will spend much time doing the job of the president in the near future.

Not that he was doing much before but I expect he will be obsessing over this investigation and spending all his time trying to figure out how to get out of it. The only national issues he will think about will be ones that might get him out of this mess.

The scary thing is that the most reliable way for him to keep hold of power is for a major war to break out.
If we are attacked in a big way all efforts must shift to dealing with the crisis and Trump's criminality will have to take a back seat.

Could our president, Jack D. Ripper, completely lose it and order an aggressive attack on, say, North Korea, against all advice?

The only certain thing is that uncertain times are ahead.

Tonight in Louisville. Tomorrow in, I don't know, North Carolina? I'm guessing he'll choose venues based on teams that are doing poorly in the college basketball playoffs.

all the crazy shit he could get us into. It's my opinion they would handle any temper tantrum he had.
