President Trump spent the final days of August dutifully performing his job. He tended to the massive recovery from Hurricane Harvey. He hit the road to sell his tax-cut plan. And he convened policy meetings on the federal budget and the North Korean nuclear threat.
Behind the scenes during a summer of crisis, however, Trump appears to pine for the days when the Oval Office was a bustling hub of visitors and gossip, over which he presided as impresario. He fumes that he does not get the credit he thinks he deserves from the media, or the allegiance from fellow Republican leaders he says he is owed. He boasts about his presidency in superlatives, but confidants privately fret about his suddenly dark moods.
And some of Trumps friends fear that the short-tempered president is on an inevitable collision course with White House Chief of Staff John F. Kelly.

This is good news. I was worried Kelly was going to right the ship. Sounds like in the near future the S.S. Trump will be back on course toward it's inevitable collision and sinking.
