On the same day that the FBI, National Intelligence agency, and his hand-picked Director of Homeland security go on TV to describe and ongoing and serious effort by the Russians to affect our mid-term elections Trump goes to a rally calls it "The Russian Hoax" and declares that he and Putin 'are good'.
Trump says that he will meet with the Iranians with 'No pre-conditions'. The same day his own secretary of State, Mike Pompeo lists a number of pre-conditions that have to be met before a meeting can occur.
Trump announces that North Korea is 'No longer a nuclear threat', and then his own intelligence agencies announce that the NK government is building ICBMs.
Trump announces that he is considering shutting down the government before midterms to get funding for his wall.
The same day, Mitch McConnel says, No, we aren't going to shut the government down.
Trump calls on the AG to end the Mueller investigation. His press secretary, and lawyers immediately announce, "No that was not a presidential order, just his opinion, and of course the investigation will go on."
Trump has become our crazy Uncle Donald. Someone else is running the store while he goes down to the corner bar (his rallies) where he entertains the other crazies.
Weird. I hope we live thru this time.

He matters because his bully pulpit sways many uninformed individuals as well as some of his unchecked powers (tariffs, etc) can have disastrous consequences for our Country.

Pretending to run a country as if it were some kind of reality show just ain't working out.
