Brooke Baldwin Runs Out of Breath Naming 4 Weeks of Trump Catastrophes (CNN)

Update: Senior White House Officials Warn That Trump Is Crazy As They Fight Off His Insane Ideas (PoliticusUSA)

Donald Trump's famously chaotic presidency manages to warp time and space like an enormous black hole, only orange. That is especially true this week, when Trump's mind-blowing embrace of white supremacy erased everything that went before it, and then was in turn erased, in the media's mind, by the firing of Steve Bannon.

Clips of Anthony Scaramucci now produce the nostalgic twinge of an “Alf” rerun.

To put it all into perspective, CNN anchor Brooke Baldwin tried to run through a list of just four weeks in the life of Trump catastrophes, and she needed to break for water.

It has been a chaotic four weeks, even by these white house standards, so let's just all take a moment just to remind you what has happened, incredibly significant events, one after the other.

So in no particular order, President Trump in the last four weeks has: fires his chief strategist, fires his chief of staff, hires a new one, hires a new communications director, fires him, hires a new one, his fourth in seven months, publicly shames his attorney general multiple times, loses a health care bill, publicly shames the three Republicans who voted against it multiple times, bans transgender individuals from the military without telling the military, ticks off the Boy Scouts, makes up a phone call with said scouts, makes up another phone call with the president of Mexico, thanks Vladimir Putin for expelling Americans, hundreds of them, takes days to sign a bipartisan sanctions bill, and then blasts Congress for making him sign it, condemns leaks but then says he likes the leaks because it shows people love him. Hold on a second. Sorry. This is long. (sips water)

Encourages police officers to be rough with suspects during arrests, publicly shames the Republican leader he needs to get anything done, multiple times, embraces an unpassable immigration plan that sparks a debate about the Statue of Liberty and the definition of “cosmopolitan.”

He threatens North Korea with nuclear war, tells Guam it will help tourism, then his own chief strategist calls his bluff and says, “Nah, there's no military option in North Korea,” threatens Venezuela with a military option, after a Nazi rally in which someone was murdered, the president blames both sides. After backlash, cleans it up, denounces those white supremacists, then hours later erases all of it and makes everything worse by again blaming both sides, saying there were “fine people” there.

No, they weren't. They were Nazis.

Suggests there's no difference between George Washington and Robert E. Lee, publicly shames CEOs who abandon him, then loses two of his entire jobs councils after execs jump ship, considers a pardon for, of all people, Sheriff Joe Arpaio, all the while facing accusations of racism. By the way, plugs his winery in Virginia when asked if he will, as president, visit Charlottesville, tells the world to study a lie during a terror attack, and gets condemnations from Democrats, Republicans, former presidents, world leaders, allies, his own staff, and the Pope.

And still, and still has no regrets.
