I'm a liberal who did not vote for Trump but honest to G*d I hoped for the best. Trump's early rhetoric about bridging the Congressional aisle made sense. He was a voice for the Rust Belt and those who have been overlooked by both parties. Unfortunately, the messenger isn't up to the message.
This may well be "fake news" and the source (Daily Kos) sure isn't up there on the reliability index. Frankly, though, this may well be the state of affairs. Yellow showers no, this yes.

The attention span thing rings true too. Did anyone see him on Air Force One today? He was having a photo op and the jingle from Empire flooring was blaring in the background.
* There's no idea even how to begin to deal with the difficult terrain issues to build a wall between the US and Mexico.
This seems like a giveaway that it's fake. What serious person working at the White House would think that Trump himself, or his staff, must resolve the technical issues related to constructing a wall? That's obviously a job for engineers and not, I would imagine, a terribly difficult one. Much more complex structures than walls are routinely built in all kinds of terrain, all over the world.
I am 100 percent sure he knows what a high risk pool is in regards to health care.
I have employer-provided insurance and sure didn't know what high risk pools were - not specifically until the term again came up in news articles about the possible post-ACA insurance environment. Sure Trump isn't a moron and, like me, he certainly can grasp the concept readily enough once he came across it. Or it was explained to him.
But it wouldn't surprise me at ALL that he got up and talked at debates and in rallies about the "beautiful" health care plan he had without beginning to understand the implications of altering the ACA. Or that, overwhelmed by the job, he continues to space out about the details when being briefed about ACA planning.
There are a multitude of policy changes underway - and all promised immediately. Frankly, it would be *normal* for the WH to fall apart under these conditions.
