The president is attempting to keep calm in front of the cameras, but behind the scenes he’s fuming.

Donald Trump is reportedly getting more and more fed up with his administration’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein drama that has consumed headlines for weeks.

Trump is frustrated that the scandal has overshadowed his agenda and dominated the news, two people familiar with his thinking told The Washington Post in a Sunday report.

Nearly a dozen sources close to the situation spoke to the Post about the issue, painting a picture of an administration adrift, lacking a clear strategy and blindsided by the intensity of the backlash—particularly from Trump’s own base. Many officials had reportedly hoped that Americans would move on from the unreleased Epstein files, underestimating the sustained outrage.

    I hope you are right, but my highest fear is that Trump isn’t pusshing bills through congress.

    by that, I ean the congress is in control and want to pass such bills without loss of face.

    Then who better than trump (or whatever president) to autopen everything thatwas handled by a middle man, then make a show of “How Trump is bad and bullying us! Bwaaahhh!!!” and then just let the bill pass because that was the plan from the begining.

    But again, I really hope that I am wrong and spurting some tin-foil hat nonsense.
