Donald Trump’s babysitters decided that their ward should forgo attending the East Asia Summit next month and leave to go back to his crib (formerly known as the Oval Office) instead. Their reason? They feared that Trump would be too tired and cranky from traveling and might say or do something…regrettable.
According to The Washington Post:
“Multiple administration officials told me there was a lengthy debate inside the Trump administration about the summit, but officials close to Trump were concerned the president did not want to stay in the region for so long and worried he could get cranky, leading to unpredictable or undiplomatic behavior.”
It seems like Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN) hit the nail on the head. The White House is now an adult daycare center, and the presidency has to be “baby-proofed” by his staff to prevent Trump from hurting his administration too severely. But all the baby-proofing in the world can’t stop Trump from destroying everything he touches, including the Republican Party’s credibility.
When Trump isn’t attacking NFL players, military families, or Vietnam war heroes, he’s going after members of his own party. He is the embodiment of that kid in the grocery store who terrorizes his hapless parents as they try to talk him off the floor during one of his epic cringe-worthy profanity-laced tantrums. There are even reports of White House staffers using distractions and other tricks to keep Trump pacified.
Is this what America has sunk to? Are we really allowing a 70-something-year-old man/toddler to run amok as the most powerful human being on the planet?
Apparently, the answer is yes, and crazier yet, there are still millions of Americans who believe that’s just peachy. Meanwhile, it’s a good thing for Vice President Mike Pence that his hair is already white if he deals with stuff like this day after day.
You know, the saddest thing about this video? Deep down you’re not sure if this is satire or a re-enactment.
