Why We Can't Admire Donald's Behavior

“Behaviour that's admired
is the path to power among people everywhere.” 
― Seamus Heaney, Beowulf

The ship seems to be taking on water and the great experiment isn't doing so well, and that is the experiment of electing a president that doesn't seem to have any moral compass.

I say it is the great experiment because Donald Trump came to power on the idea that he wasn't a Washington insider and whatever else he claimed to be and voters believed when they voted for him. He hasn't done anything to improve his approval rating and seems fine doing things his way and at times acting like a five-year-old that needs a nap. 

Donald Trump's behavior is always on display and it seems to relish the fact the media seems obsessed with his odd behavior. We know that he isn't always a great statesman, and he taking a big risk with all the tariffs he believes will help the United States, but that is the kind of guy we knew he was going to be.

But you have to wonder how bad it really is in the White House when people are turning down jobs in the White House. John Kelly is out, and nobody seems to want the job. Sure, there are a few people that are mentioned, but it seems like they are the usual names of people that only know how to say 'YES' to Donald Trump.

When people say 'NO' to the president, well, you have to wonder what is really going on in the White House. Do they see something we don't see, or maybe they know something we don't know. It might just be that they are waiting to see what happens with the whole Russian investigation before they commit to any job in the White House.

At the end of the day, we will have to see if Donald Trump's behavior changes or will he stay the course as more people jump off the ship.
