Donald Trump’s Presidency Is in Free Fall (newrepublic.com)

Consider three of the biggest developments in our politics right now: We just learned that the economy lost 92,000 jobs in February, a capstone to a terrible year in terms of job creation. President Trump has fired widely despised Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, a key architect of his mass deportations. And reports are indicating that the killing of scores of Iranian schoolchildren might have been the handiwork of the United States.

What links all these things? In addition to the massive human toll they’re inflicting, they suggest that Trump is about to pull off a unique trifecta. He is squandering the advantage he and Republicans have enjoyed in recent years on three major GOP-friendly issues: The economy, immigration, and national security.

Your behavior seems to suggest you're a particularly arrogant child. I have no further interest in responding to your pointless comments, and I have blocked you.

Lol, why do you reddit losers write like you learned to talk solely from anime and Joss Wheadon films?
