I don't think so. Not for me. I was one of those that really didn't have any expectations for MAGA. I believed if he did nothing, it was a victory compared to HRC.

He delivered on SC and tax cuts. He threw out some low ball tariffs for the steel industry, which I think he could have carried some weight come October in the rust belt.

I think the pressure has got to him. Some chickens from his past are coming home to roost. Dogs with fleas. He doesn't have any natural Washington allies. The ones he did he has jettisoned for many reasons.

You never want your staff "going into business for themselves" like Bannon did. But Bannon did keep him singularly focused and grounded. And for someone like Trump, that's necessary.
