Crazy report for Jan 20 -
This report is more about the total craziness in Washington, of which our president is a major contributor. We now have a government shutdown on the 1st anniversary of the current administration. And this is happening when one political party controls both houses of congress and the White House. How can it happen?
One contributor is the president's attacks on his own party. When things don't go his way, he attacks whomever he thinks is responsible - democrats, republicans, the courts, regular citizens, women, the dogcatcher. It doesn't matter to him. Attacks on his own party don't go unnoticed by his supporters. A recent poll showed that most Trump supporters hate republicans. This hatred is evident based on the results of recent elections around the country where democrats won in places where they've never won before. There is a reasonably good chance that democrats will take control of both houses of congress in 2018. And the major contributor is from the president who has rallied his supporters to hate republicans. He has no idea how difficult it will make the last two years of his term. Thinking ahead doesn't seem to be a strength in the White House. They're too busy cleaning up the messes left behind from the last week's craziness.
