A Dangerous White House Led by A Dangerous President

With the Recent FBI Raids, President Trump has become even more furious. The question is: why?

In recent news, the newly appointed Deputy Attorney General, Rod Rosenstein approved FBI raids on Trump's personal lawyer, Michael Cohen. As a result, Trump has become furious with the Deputy Attorney General, as well as anyone involved with the FBI raid as well as special counsel Mueller, who has been investigating his actions and involvement with Russia. As I have written before, Trump's political isolationism within the White House has already led him to become much more radical and dangerous as a President who is clinging desperately to power. As a result of this, Donald Trump is heavily considering firing several persons, including Rosenstein as well as Mueller. This is dangerous as the current President seeks to consolidate power and is looking into options to remove any players that undermine his authority.

In response to the FBI raids earlier this week, Trump took to the major media outlets and Twitter to voice his disapproval of what he referred to as a "witch hunt." Despite the President's rhetoric, the FBI raids were legal and were given approval via a search warrant and were conducted through the proper legal channels and procedures. Additionally, Rod Rosenstein approved these raids, despite being appointed by the President last year. Trump had also continued his criticism by trying to call those investigating him Democrats and biased. However, Mueller, Rosenstein and most of the people involved in the FBI raids were Republican themselves. With Trump's recent outburst and anger over the events that just transpired, the question that presents itself is: why is the President so angered by these events? There are a few possible explanations, one of which being that the President himself is compromised and that the secrets to him lie in his most loyal associate, Michael Cohen. Another possible explanation is that he continues to despise the current FBI and anyone trying to undermine his authority. Or maybe there may be a combination of both.

The actions of President Trump pose dangerous consequences for the future as the question of Robert Mueller's ability to continue operating as special counsel rises. Trump continues to mull over firing Mueller, which would cripple the President in various ways. After firing Mueller, Trump would then be branded as even more suspicious, regardless of his reasons. Trump's advisers and legal team have urged him to cooperate as much as possible to remove the suspicions surrounding him, however the President has done the opposite. Without special Congressional approval securing Mueller and safeguarding his position, the future of the checks against the President's angry rule over the country seem shakier than ever.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.
