Exactly. Americans voted for him because they made the mistake of believing a successful businessman would also be successful running the most important government in the world. A government is nothing at all like a private business, and Trump is in over his head. What's worse is he won't admit it, not even to the few advisors he has who are experienced in government positions, and the rest of them are just as inexperienced as he.

+1, awfully level headed for this audience...

Bannon is a crazy person. Him losing influence is a good thing. If you think Steve Bannon being in Trump's ear is good for America....I don't know what say to you....

As a liberal, I don't care for Trump....but if I had to choose between him and Bannon, give me Donald any day of the week.

Turning into a globalist?

When has Trump NOT been a globalist?

I can't believe that people actually believed his "America First" rhetoric. I guess false hope sells.

I feel about Ivanka and Jared the same as libertarian P.J. O'Rourke felt about Clinton. They're bad too, but they're bad within normal parameters.

P.J. O'Rourke Rejects Trump - Says Clinton Wrong But at Least it's 'Within Normal Parameters'

And BTW - Trump has always been a globalist - just check out his business resume.

He sold his voters a bill of goods. What he says isn't nearly as informative as what he does.
Exactly this. He has not changed. For him, it has always been about what is good for Trump, and he will say anything and do anything to advance himself.

This is the problem with being in a cult. You are indoctrinated into believing the cult master could never, ever, ever be wrong. Therefore, any perceived failings in the cult master simply must be someone else's fault.

Congratulation, OP! Your brainwashing was a success!
Yes, exactly.

I can't believe Americans fell for most of what he was selling, especially the concept that a billionaire could possibly be concerned about the problems of working class Americans, which ironically, comprised a large percentage of his voting base. He has already displayed his true colors.
