I haven't read the book, but, some of this sounds familiar.

Rachel Maddow is reading some of the book. As far as I am concerned, there was warnings about Trump long before his inaugural. The people providing regular briefings to the presidential candidates complained Trump did not attend the briefings and was not interested in them at all.

President-elect Donald Trump said he does not need to receive the presidential intelligence briefing every day, suggesting in an interview aired Sunday that such briefings are repetitive and he is happy to rely on those around him on matters of intelligence and national security.

Trump has been given the daily intelligence briefing just a handful of times since winning the White House last month, alarming some in the national security community. But those briefings do not always change day to day, Trump told “Fox News Sunday” host Chris Wallace in an interview taped over the weekend. And when he does receive the briefing, Trump said he always instructs those offering him the information to contact him should new developments emerge....

Americans were caught up in the complaints they had about their own lives. People that elected Trump were tired of the Clinton email uncertainty that raised concerns about her worthiness. There were also people in grievance of what they believed and some still believe today is a government that does not solve their problems, but, causes them.

I met them. I looked them in the eye and listened to their ideas of how the government had to be ended because it was the problem. They were not interested in understanding the facts so much as ACTING to remove their pain. Trump was their molotov cocktail. So, one can look at this disaster of a president as the real wishes of those that elected him or they can look at a man that is and has been incompetent all his life, except, for what he wants, needs or desires.

Senior Trump administration officials (click here) considered resigning en masse last year in a “midnight self-massacre” to sound a public alarm about President Trump’s conduct, but rejected the idea because they believed it would further destabilize an already teetering government, according to a new book by an unnamed author.

In “A Warning” by Anonymous, obtained by The Washington Post ahead of its release, a writer described only as “a senior official in the Trump administration” paints a chilling portrait of the president as cruel, inept and a danger to the nation he was elected to lead....

I think the Republicans need to pay attention to the findings of the US House and protect their country from a dangerous president that is only going to get worse. The Trump Administration will not get better. How can it, it isn't even staffed.

Anyone ask Stephen Miller if he actually has a conscience? He must feel so overwhelmed by the mass dysfunction of this president he could be really scared.
