MOSCOW (The Borowitz Report)—Russian President Vladimir Putin is “starting to get concerned” that the puppets he installed in the executive branch of the U.S. government “might not be up to the task at hand,” sources confirmed on Tuesday.
….
“President Putin knew that this bunch didn’t have a lot of experience in government and that there were bound to be some growing pains,” the source said. “But geez.”
—Satire from the Borowitz Report
Yes it is a mess:
The chaos and competing factions that were a Trump trademark in business and campaigning now are starting to define his presidency, according to interviews with a dozen White House officials as well as other Republicans. Most spoke on the condition of anonymity to candidly discuss internal White House dynamics and deliberations.

The article also says,
Upset about damaging leaks of his calls with world leaders and other national security information, Trump has ordered an internal investigation to find the leakers. Staffers, meanwhile, are so fearful of being accused of talking to the media that some have resorted to a secret chat app — Confide — that erases messages as soon as they’re read.
Fortunately, staffers haven’t stopped leaking even though they are being more careful.

Of course, we all knew that before he got elected. Clinton was counting on it — how could anyone vote for him over her? As the question goes, “In a nation of 320 million people, how did we wind up with those two as candidates?
I just hope this ridiculous “mess” can be played out without an accidental or deliberate nuclear war.
Even if we had a cooler head in the White House we could still get into a nuclear war. North Korea is making great strides in developing an intercontinental missile that could hit the U.S. North Korea’s dictator challenges Donald Trump . So far Trump hasn’t addressed the matter.
