Nearly ten mind numbing months now of Trump's unorthodox Presidency. The initial shock has worn off but it's being replaced by "Trump Fatigue". The man is wearing extremely thin as the endless boastful stories of his personal heroics  become repetitious and boring. He's finally learned to read a script fairly well -until he starts speaking off the cuff- endlessly bragging about how "No other President has ever (fill in the blank) as I have". It is true that no other President has gone this long and accomplished so little. It's also true that no other President has fired more people in less than a year as Trump has done. 

Trump largely got elected by being provocative, saying outrageous things, and making a spectacle of himself. He gained fame as the host of a "reality show" but unfortunately  he continues to govern as if running the Country is just hosting an bigger reality show. He fires people with the same regularity and imperial attitude that he did on "The Apprentice". Every single issues somehow ends up being about him. His ego knows no bounds and he's difficult to get off stage when he's in front of a live audience.

We've seen enough of this man to know that nothing is going to change. Our only hope is either impeachment or nearly unanimous censure by the members of the Republican Party. The best route to impeachment will probably be accomplished by "following the money"- or the discovery of recorded conversations. 

The good news is that Congress can't get the votes to do much damage until after the next election cycle.
