That is one monster log in his eye.

Trump seeks assurances from his staff that he's not a lunatic. Completely beyond parody. pic.twitter.com/DBwT8ayvgF

Larry Kudlow, Kellyanne Conway, and Sarah Sanders assure Trump that he was very calm yesterday.

"Mercedes is right. Kellyanne is right. You were calm," Kudlow says.

"Very calm. This was definitely not angry or ranting," Sanders adds. pic.twitter.com/rHJ9VS4AfY

Any one else doing this in public would be immediately removed from any position of power or access to anything sharper than a rubber ball, and recommended for therapy and intervention. What kind of adult demands this kind of sycophancy from his staff in front of cameras?  Because anyone who has to declare this:

Trump again declares himself an “extremely stable genius,” in a news conference that began with him summoning his staffers to emphasize how calm he was in a meeting with lawmakers he walked out of yesterday.

Clearly isn't; especially when he talks like this:

"let 'em get this angst out of their belt," POTUS says about whether he would make a deal with Democrats legislatively.

Recognizably English words, but not a recognizable sentence in English.

Rick Wilson is right; but even that analysis is so far behind the breaking news and Pelosi's strategy it's like a history lesson.  Historians should remember that, if not for Nancy Pelosi, this country would be in a world of hurt.

What, you think Republicans are doing anything about this?  They're lining up behind Kudlow, Conway, and Sanders, and calling Justin Amash a traitor.
