News cycles

I find myself fascinated by the news each day as Pres Trump continues his wild unpredictable behavior. I think the news shows do swing right or left depending on what network you watch. I do believe Trump brings the negative stories on himself by constantly Tweeting and bullying the press with the silly fake news mantra.  Whether you like or don't like Trump there is no denying his message is racist, and his base does not reflect who he is, which is an entitled rich boy who grew up in privilege world of private schools.  Why his "base" is so supportive puzzling given the message of isolationism and America First  at the expense of the rest of the world.  He completely ignores the US role as leader of the free world and since WW2 we have kept the peace in EU.  The idea he would insult Germany, UK, Canada, and other NATO countries is against the previous administrations policy that they should and need to be investigated. Our foreign policy is in shambles and relations that took decades to build are crumbling in the 2 yrs he has been in office. Most concerning is the lack of quality people that will work at WH given the nature of this President. It used to be an honor to work in government to fulfill ones country service if they did not join the military.  Now, sadly, no one of quality will go to work for such an idiot.
Yes, I oppose just able every policy, decision and comment that comes out of Trump's mouth. I hope no one gets hurt over the nonsense he spouts daily about fake news. I hope no gets hurt at one of the rallys where he whips up the group to hurt the Media.  Not once in my lifetime have I seen a sitting president give nothing but inflammatory speeches spouting nothing but nasty, mean, name calling comments without so much as a policy outline.  Is that because he does not have a plan for America?  Is that because there are no policy decisions he can make up that don't include tariffs (not really a policy) or name calling. 
We are in dark times but America is resilient and we will survive this time in history but it will not end well for some people.  Say what you will about Obama, but that man and wife had dignity and represented America in a way that made you feel proud. He could take a punch and get back up to lead again.  I was a McCain supporter but embraced Obama policies and what he did for our country.  This president cannot not be embraced because he is too busy stuffing his pockets with money which is all he ever cared about.  I never wish impeachment on the US, it is too demeaning but this president is bad person and whoever is in his cabinet needs to go too.
