Trump aides predicting 'brutal' September
Source: Politico
Inside President Donald Trumps White House, no one seems to be looking forward to September.
Senior officials have described the coming month as "brutal," bad or really tough because of the confluence of complicated issues but they also say its pivotal to getting the presidency back on course.
Aides hope to have a better blueprint for how the president wants to proceed on a series of thorny issues the nations debt ceiling, the 2018 federal budget, tax reform, infrastructure spending and perhaps another stab at repealing Obamacare after a series of meetings in New York this week.
Their goal is to partially temper Trumps expectations, hammer out some compromises and get a competing band of aides on the same page. The month has taken on outsize importance among some top aides and outside advisers, who view it as key to getting the presidency on a better track.

Not that it would be good for anyone who wasn't a fascist, super wealthy, a Nazi, Corporate American, a Klansman, major polluter, a Koch brother, or any one of a thousand other rich Republican campaign donors......but, you know.......it's the principal of the thing.
I know he thinks the White House is a dump, but maybe he could stay in his "luxurious" hotel down the street, bill the American taxpayer for it, and STILL be in Washington, where other presidents have been rumored to get actual work done! Hey, it's worth a try, right?

The fuckers ain't seen nothing yet! Maybe they will all go back under their slimy little rocks and stfu before this gets too out of hand. My Grampa didn't die in WWII for this crap to be popping up again.

Coupled with impending national and international crises and the upcoming 9/11 anniversary, I'm concerned that this September will be an epic political and economic shitstorm for this country.

One fails to see the point.
Trump will just shred the blueprint by saying and doing stupid, reckless, irresponsible things.
The biggest problem with the Trump administration is Trump.

Because that's where he and the other treasonous nazi-sympathizers in the White House need to be.
Prison.
For treason.
