On the other hand, he plainly does not know that there are tax provisions in the health-care bill Republicans are trying to drag out of Congress: He was perplexed when they came up at a White House meeting with Republican senators, saying that he was planning on taking on tax reform at a later date, oblivious to the content of the bill he purports to be negotiating.

He doesn’t understand what’s going on between Saudi Arabia and Qatar, but has taken to Twitter to argue — surprise — that, whatever it is, it’s all about him. What do you think he reads first in the morning: His national-security briefing or Page Six?

I’d wager that Trump could list at least three times as many cable-news commentators as world leaders. He is much better versed in CNN’s lineup than in NATO’s.

Doesn’t need the media? He is the media, a former contract employee at NBC with a sideline in casinos.

He was born to conduct Twitter feuds with second-tier cable-television hosts.

Figuring out health-care policy?

Fox News host tears into Trump: News media is not your problem — 'it's you'

Fox News host Neil Cavuto tore into President Donald Trump on Tuesday night for Trump's continued social-media outbursts that targeted the news media and members of his own administration in recent days.

"Mr. President, it's not the 'fake-news media' that's your problem," Cavuto said. "It's you. It's not just your tweeting — it's your scapegoating. It's your refusal to see that sometimes you're the one who's feeding your own beast — and acting beastly with your own guys."

Trump this week publicly expressed his disappointment with the Justice Department for its handling of his now-blocked "travel ban," calling the newest version of his own executive order on the matter a "watered down," "politically correct" version that was not strong enough. Trump signed both versions of the order before they each were blocked by federal appeals courts.

"The Justice Dept. should have stayed with the original Travel Ban, not the watered down, politically correct version they submitted to S.C.," Trump tweeted Monday, continuing a rant on that issue that began Saturday evening, as a deadly terrorist attack unfolded in London.

"I bet they're too afraid to tell you," Cavuto continued. "They're not perfect, but they do have your back. Do you have theirs," he asked, referring to the president's administration.

Trump has been firing off salvos at the news media on Twitter, accusing outlets of trying to silence him on the social-media platform: "The FAKE MSM is working so hard trying to get me not to use Social Media," Trump said on Twitter on Monday. "They hate that I can get the honest and unfiltered message out."

"Sorry folks, but if I would have relied on the Fake News of CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, washpost or nytimes, I would have had ZERO chance winning WH," Trump said in another tweet shortly after.

Cavuto sought to turn the spotlight back on Trump: "Mr. President, they didn't tweet disparaging comments about a London mayor in the middle of a murder spree — you did. They didn't turn on a travel ban that you signed — you did. You're right to say a lot of people are out to get you ... but ... the buck stops with you, Mr. President."

"I find it ironic that on this, the 73rd anniversary of D-Day, some of your most ardent backers are desperately girding for another battle — not for Normandy — for normalcy," Cavuto said.

These are astonishing revelations. Not only do they shed light on a marriagealliance of convenience that suits both parties, each with their own transparently venal reasons for enteringcontracting, but also on how the orange disaster sees the world and his place in it. Please stop for a moment and think about it - Trump married Melania because he wanted to make other men jealous, while she traded her beauty for wealth and privilege. Significantly, neither party mentioned 'attraction' which for most people is the spark that initiates a strong relationship.

Are we talking about the actions of a rational adult or someone who is still engaged in juvenile games of oneupmanship with his perceived competitors? Is it a marriage or a merger of congruent business entities? Does Trump give any indication he possesses the moral and emotional maturity necessary for a successful marriage? Does he give any indication that he is even aware of these qualities or their role in a successful marriage? Is marriage for Trump and Melania a partnership of two adults committed to love each other or just another status symbol, alongside the limo and the penthouse, to be traded up for another when these symbols are no longer fashionable? How many people really believe that the marriage will survive beyond the Presidency or, as some have speculated, does Melania's marriage contract has an opt-out clause after the President gig expires ....?

Is the world's most powerful country, armed with an arsenal of nuclear weapons powerful enough to pulverise the planet several times over being led by an emotional cripple who believes he's starring in his own TV show?

Could it be that Trump regards politics and the Presidency as show business conducted with a different cast? His insane tweets make a lot more sense if they are viewed as the PR stunts of a 'C' list celebrity desperately trying to make it to the 'A' list. He's far more concerned with the size of the crowd he can draw than policies that will directly affect the quality of life of millions (in, for example, healthcare, taxation, foreign policy as detailed above). His focus is his own image, his ratings and popularity rather than conducting the affairs of the State. He's more interested in pandering to whims of his 'base'fans than maintaining peace in the Middle East. He seems far more interested in putting a few minor media figures (competitors?) 'in their place' than containing North Korea or its nuclear ambitions.

Again this is astonishing behaviour in a POTUS. Trump seems insistent on maintaining this behaviour, even doubling down on it whenever it doesn't achieve his desired results - which is causing many, including many in his own party the GOP to question his mental equilibrium and psychological suitability for high office.

And while many of us wonder about Trump's maturity, stability and competence, he has stacked his Cabinet with multimillionaires drawn from Goldman Sachs, Big Oil and the like, devastated environmental protections, and hopes to reduce health and welfare provisions while reducing tax for the ultra-wealthy (people like himself and his Cabinet), who stand to make millions while the poor continue to die unnecessary deaths due to inadequate healthcare policies. A cynic might conclude that there is method in Trump's madness ...

It seems impossible to believe that this are the reasons people voted for him. If these are the reasons, then those voters deserve everything they get . But I wouldn't wish that on anyone ...

We may have more than a few deniers along with you when it comes to Trumps lack of competency on these boards... but your numbers here do not align with the general population as a whole.... Many Trump voters , who may still believe in the message, are seeing him for what he is... a mentally unstable man with an inflated ego that is not suited as a leader of the free world... and is dangerous.

I read this link... it is even more proof of asinine people making excuses for his erratic irrational behavior. Just look at the explanations again... can you still tell me this is how our President should be presented... In this world of complicated issues do you really think Arnold Schwarzenegger's failure as a Trump replacement on television somehow makes his infantile behavior acceptable?
