Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

      I'm hardly a fan but there's sign that he's responding to feedback. I think he realizes he's being ill-served and making progress.

      I did! But I think he has enough ego to respond to negative feedback and improve. He's still awful but less so than a month ago.

      Um, where have been the last week? Did you see his conversation with Xi over chocolate cake?

      But McMaster is better than Flynn by light years. And he's moving away from the worst of the worst, possibly including Bannon.

      At this point, I'm just happy that we're approaching something like a process.

      tyranny of low expectations. Tillerson says regime change, Mattis says not regime change both yesterday. Great process

      I'm with Steve. What's to stop some other awful person from being the last one in the room next week, to reverse all this? Nothing.

          I still question his sanity, much less his competence for the job. But there does seem to be a glimmer of recognition that he's failing.

          I think maybe his ego and desire for approval is kicking in and that he may kick Bannon and co. to the curb. We'll see.

          and then he will get frustrated with the normal people and dump them

          Right. It's not even clear how normal people go to him, so what's to ensure they'll retain access?

          Again, we'll see. I don't think he'll become a normal president. But he may be less of a disaster than it looked a month ago.
