I’d say the burdens of the office are catching up with him. _Everything_ demands his attention and a decision made. Obama was probably great with delegating tasks to others and signing off on whatever was put in front of him while he sank baskets or was binge-watching something. Trump is probably looking over everything to make sure nothing is being put over on him.

The whole immigration, border-secuirty, DACA debate would probably be enough to break most mortals. Anything he does either brands him a racist or establishment sell-out. He might be hearing it from the State Department with ambassadors in Latin America, the Caribbean, and Africa being called out to explain “Trump’s words”—never mind that Schumer was the one who claimed them.

Not to mention the Korean ulcer and the potential for disaster with the upcoming games in Seoul.

He needs stalwart aides and advisors and you can bet those are in short supply in DC.

That's a good point. Obama was really nothing but a figurehead and had zero executive experience coming in. So smarter people made his decisions for him and yes, I believe he pretty much signed whatever was put in front of him by his betters because he didn't have a clue. He was really a dummy. For example, he actually did pronounce corpsman as "corpse man" because he didn't know any better. What he was better at and what he'd really rather be doing was filling out college basketball brackets and hanging with his pals while the adults ran things in the background.

The picture below of the command center during the Bin Laden raid tells the whole story. Even though he is the president, he has no command presence whatsoever and his facial expression is that of a 12-year-old boy dragged away from his video game by his parents. Just a scowling little man surrounded by adults.

Yes.

And don’t forget that he also needs our prayers.

“... the potential for disaster with the upcoming games in Seoul.”

If the North Korean team loses or is disrespected, Kim will start an artillery barrage of Seoul?

This whole article is based on the back-handed premise that Trump has recently tweeted fewer “off-message” comments.

It’s a false premise, folks - and an insulting one at that. If you try to explain a false premise you are accepting that premise.

I think our time would be better spent discussing something true; namely that Trump’s first year has been wildly successful due to his focus and determination in keeping campaign promises and the brilliant strategic implementation of his agenda (including his masterful tweeting).

If there has been any recent softening in Trump’s demeanor, it might be something akin to that subtle relaxation in pace seen when a winner approaches the finish line and realizes his opponents are nowhere to be found.
