What will it take for Republicans in Congress to conclude that President Donald Trump has outlived his political usefulness to them, and is dangerously unglued? We may soon find out.

In one ring of the circus, Trump abruptly decided to pull all U.S. forces out of Syria. This prompted the resignation of both Defense Secretary Jim Mattis and anti-ISIS coalition envoy Brett McGurk.

Meanwhile, in another ring of the circus, Trump shut down the government over Christmas. This undercut Republican leadership, which had a deal with Democrats for a temporary resolution to keep the government funded until the New Year.

Trump seems happiest when there are no adults in the room to contain his impulses. As he put it in an interview with The Washington Post, “I have a gut, and my gut tells me more sometimes than anybody else’s brain can ever tell me.”

SOOOO, on one side we have Military and Economic advisors, Professional diplomats, (former) allies, Climatologists and thousands of career professionals, VERSUS, Dotard’s GUT, which has lead the Pathological LIAR into at least SIX bankruptcies.
