I don't know enough about politics but I put some dime on Trump not being President at the end of 2017 at 5.4/1 (down to 4/1 now). Is there a possibility of this happening? Doesn't seem like anything like that has happened before without illness but also Trump has never happened before.

If he's knows he's innocent about Russia then good on him for blasting the media!

Whatsgoodly recently surveyed over 1,900 US millennials on whether they believe President Trump will be impeached during his presidency. The results are stunning as the majority of millennials (51%) believe that he will be impeached while only 49% think he will not.

Come on Andrew! the attorney general has resigned about Russia. The FBI has confirmed that RUssia hacked Clinton, and that Trump's campaign spoke to them the same day.

I know him blasting the media plays very well with his core supporters but what is actually happening is a national embarrassment. Way out of his depth as an actual politician

It got lost a bit in the whirlwind of Trump news, but Democrat Senators had a significant victory this week with the withdrawal of Andy  Puzder as nominee for Labour Secretary. In fairness, they have been very successful in exposing the various nominees' weaknesses and have beaten half a dozen of them to a pulp in their hearings. There aren't enough Democrats to vote nominations down unless Republicans break ranks, though, so the nominees have all limped through, some badly, and permanently, damaged.

Puzder was vulnerable on several fronts, both business and personal, and had been warned that he was about to be put through the wringer at his confirmation hearing. It was put him that it would be better to withdraw than take the upcoming mauling. Four Republican members of the Committee expressed their doubts publicly, which was probably the clincher, and he withdrew the day before the hearing. His withdrawal is a black eye, not just for Trump, who claimed that all his nominees would get through, but also for Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who said publicly he would make it happen.

Today's news that Trump's choice for replacement of Mike Flynn as National Security Advisor has publicly refused the job leaves another massive void in the team. As with everything in this Administration, the details have been leaked. Republicans and Democrats were relieved with the choice of Vice-Admiral Robert Harward, but he wanted the NSC filled with security experts, rather than political and Fox News hacks. That was too much for this White House, so he declined publicly, making it virtually impossible for any other respected candidate to take the job.

Thank you for all of the nice statements on the Press Conference yesterday. Rush Limbaugh said one of greatest ever. Fake media not happy!
