Donald Trump's advisers are now warning him about the looming possibility of impeachment.

(Just a tweet demonstrating how isolated Trump is now from those who are supposed to be working with him.)

Courtesy of Newsweek:

Donald Trump's presidency already has been one of the most controversial in U.S. history, and its ending could be just as action-packed and unpredictable as his first seven months in office. 

As the 45th president deals with his stalled agenda, his sinking approval ratings and the investigations into his presidential campaign's ties to Russia, White House advisers have reportedly been warning Trump about his potential political doom: the exhaustive impeachment process that could result in his removal from the Oval Office. And he isn’t doing himself many favors.

Republicans on Capitol Hill have become a subject of Trump's daily Twitter storms, with the president repeatedly denouncing Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell for the GOP's continued failure to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act. He has also warned others to fall in line and help pass his campaign promises or face the wrath of his 140 characters.

His actions could spell disaster for Trump if special counsel Robert Mueller determines that his presidential campaign colluded with the Kremlin, or that the president attempted to obstruct justice at any point throughout his short tenure in politics. Either situation would swiftly encourage more Democrats to push for his impeachment—and if Trump doesn't have enough Republican allies, he could be ousted.

Several White House advisers have spoken with the president about his possible impeachment, and about how overcoming such proceedings would require friendships with the elected officials responsible for deciding whether he should remain in office.

Of course Trump is currently ignoring the advice of those warning him that he needs to stop pushing everybody away. Instead he just keeps right on pushing.

And this is being illustrated right now by a number of recent firings, and even more resignations.


Courtesy of The Hill:

A pair of top State Department officials, including the lead envoy to the United Nations, have announced they will leave their posts, Foreign Policy reported on Sunday. 

Tracey Ann Jacobson, a career foreign service officer responsible for overseeing U.S. policy at international organizations including the U.N., told her staff on Friday that she will continue in her post until early October but did not specify why she was leaving, a U.S. official told Foreign Policy. 

Also on Friday, William Rivington Brownfield, the U.S. assistant secretary of State for international narcotics and law enforcement affairs, told his department that he would leave by the end of September, according to the report.

And that is by no means the only folks currently jumping ship.

Courtesy of Fortune:

A quarter of the members of the National Infrastructure Advisory Council, whose purview includes national cybersecurity, have resigned. In a group resignation letter, they cited both specific shortfalls in the administration’s approach to cybersecurity, and broader concerns that Trump and his administration have undermined the “moral infrastructure” of the U.S.

That is seven members gone from a 27 member council whose focus is protecting us from cyber attacks by those who want to steal our information, blackmail powerful Americans, or shape our politics.

Exactly the kinds of people we should NOT be losing.

So to sum up Trump is currently losing support among Washington Republicans, and also losing members of his administration, at an amazing rate.

And this at a time when he most needs people to stay on his team, and to expand the size of that team.

However those are the drawbacks of being an arrogant, egotistical, toxic POS.

Instead of people rushing to help you in your time of need, they are perfectly content to sit back at a distance and gleefully watch as you crash and burn.

    There is no way in hell DJT is going allow himself to be impeached. He's going to quit, and blame all his ills on somebody else. Just like $arah.

      Oh, I totally agree here, but he MUST go out a winner! Harder to do when you're president and the world is watching your every move as opposed to a lame @ss nitwit governor who never explained, sealed her records, and now is perfect in the Lord. LOL

    Rachel Maddow is reporting that a Trump Tower server was communicating with Russia Alpha Bank during the presidential campaign.

    And something about Jared and a Russian bank.

    I wish it were happening but there is no way the GOP regime is going to roll over and do this unless their hand is forced by obvious malfeasance on the part of POTUS himself, which at this time there is no reporting of.

    I'm afraid we're stuck with this idiot for 4 years but please, everyone, liberal and conservative, with a brain, let's not have 4 years turn into 8, m'kay?

      If I were a betting woman, I'd bet you Pence will be our POTUS by February. Trump, like $arah, will not be able to hold up under the scrutiny that's coming because he knows how dirty he is, and his fear of losing his ill-gotten gains will insure his resignation. JMO.

      Don't know that Pence will be much be much better. When he was chosen veep candidate, an Indianan was here saying hw disastrous he was as a governor. The veep nod got him out of re-election.

    Everyone’s Running for President in 2020

    Trump’s upset win shattered all the old "rules" about who can be a credible contender for commander in chief, while Hillary Clinton’s loss left no heir apparent to shoo away the pretenders. So seeing only upside, Democrats are rushing to test the unguarded waters.

    Displeased with empty spaces at a rally in Phoenix, Arizona, last week, President Donald Trump dropped his longtime rally coordinator, three people told Bloomberg News. Trump reportedly told a security aide to tell longtime event coordinator George Gigicos that Gigicos would never manage another Trump rally. Gigicos was one of Trump’s four longest-serving aides. Before taking the stage at the Phoenix Convention Center, Trump reportedly watched the crowd from a waiting-room television. Gigicos had arranged the rally in a large room with a wall, which left part of the floor empty, to the dismay of Trump, who reportedly grew angry at how the empty spaces would look on television.

    1. Just goes to show that Trump requires fealty, non-disclosure and loyalty from all his minions but reciprocates NONE of it to anyone.

      One way street.

      It will be his undoing.

    Ain't it a bitch when the president of your country can't figure out if he's a communist,a nazi, a facist or a racist nationalist?Troubled times they have come to your hometown.

    I still can't believe that Trump supporters didn't see this coming. Trump had 6 business bankruptcies. When every other casino business was making more money than they could count, this idiot went belly-up. He is a walking time bomb. His bravado is made up of pure bullshit. Listen to him speak and you will hear nothing but hot air. He's dumb, dumb, dumb. I'm not in a hurry to see that smirking idiot Pence as President but this orange clown has got to go.

    To all women here, if you trash talk your husband's ex, it ALWAYS makes your own relationship look unstable and shows how envious you are of that former woman.

    Women don't WANT to dislike other women. So if your husband's ex dislikes you, she has a VALID reason and you're proving her right with your immaturity.

      Not sure what planet you are from, but women DO want to dislike other women. Not sure why, but we do constantly sabotage each other: in friendships, in the workplace, in the community.
      That's why Hillary Clinton lost so many women to Trump .....ok most of the woman Trump voters were either stoopid women who jealous of Hillary or smate women and rich who were jealous of Hillary because she is powerful. Most of these rich Trump voters are in bad marriages and get stipends from their husbands to do lunch, redecorate and get mani-pedis...not very fulfilling.Secretary of state versus glorified family secretaries.

      This pic is misleading and we do need to play fairly. This looks like Drumpf is being skyped or zoomed into the meeting....not as horrible as it could be. He has nothing to offer to the discussions anyway, so who really wants him there anyway.
      What is fuckin annoying is that Dumpf is a king and the repubs will just do what they want.

    4. One phone call and the whole sniveling pack of cowards could have got together at Camp David for a face to face. This phony potus isn't above wasting all kinds of tax payer bucks in frivolous outings.

      Drumpfuck appears to prefer showing he is above doing his job, lest he be compared to GOAT Obama.

      “Morning Joe” host repeated his claim from the day before that Trump never expected to win, but instead ran for president to enhance his brand.

      “This was all a money-making scam,” Scarborough said. “He thought Jeb Bush was going to beat him. He was going to — straight-out Steve Miller Band and ‘Take the Money and Run.'”

      “You get a second Donald Trump Russia story, (but) you must pay shipping and HANDJOBaling, Halperin said."

      “All for $19.95,” co-host Mika Brzezinski joked."
