Week 6 - The President’s Patience Is Tapped!

The sixth week of Donald Trump’s presidency may have contained both the best and worst day of President Trump’s administration up to this point. On Tuesday night, the President delivered a fairly successful speech to a joint session of Congress, and enjoyed a solid 24 hours of (rare) positive press as a result. But the budding romance between President Trump and the news media was short-lived, as Wednesday brought some eye-opening revelations about Attorney General Sessions and his (at best) misleading answers during his Congressional confirmation hearing. The following day, AG Sessions recused himself from any investigations into the Trump campaign, which reportedly enraged the President. This bubbled over on Saturday morning, when Trump sent out a series of tweets claiming that President Obama illegally wiretapped Trump Tower during the campaign, complete with comparisons to McCarthyism and Watergate. The current President accuses the former President of illegal espionage for personal or partisan reasons – whether it’s based on a real wiretap or completely made up, this story is not over!
