Donald Trump is not taking the intelligence report stating that he failed to destroy Iran’s nuclear program well. Trump’s administration is following its standard operating procedure of denying facts while attacking the United States’ intelligence community.

There is an overwhelming sense among a majority of Americans that Trump is failing, and the polling shows increasing negativity toward this administration no matter what it does.

Donald Trump had a very brief window before he took office to redefine his political career. Instead, he has doubled and tripled down on his previous behavior, and the result has been a record-setting public backlash against him.

Combine this environment with the mounting daily evidence that Trump appears to be rapidly declining with age and what is developing is an unprecedented situation in presidential history.

On Wednesday, Donald Trump took questions at the NATO press conference, and both his failing administration and apparent cognitive decline were visible.

Trump first ranted about icebreakers:

 Icebreakers, you're very good at icebreakers and I actually made 'em an offer. I didn't go to Congress till try and impeach me for this, but there's an old, it's not old, it's fairly new, but it's used icebreaker, and I offered them. About one third of what he asked for, but we're negotiating.

We need icebreakers in the US and if we can get some inexpensively, I'd like to do that actually. They'll fix it up, make it good. Also, we may buy some ice breakers. You make, you're the king of icebreakers, that particular country. They make 'em good. They make 'em really good, and they know what they're doing.

And so we're negotiating with them for about 15 different icebreakers, but one of them is available now. It's old and it's old. It's five, six years old now. We're trying to buy it. I'm trying to make a good deal. All I do, my whole life, that's all I do is make deals. Yeah.

Ok, sure. That answer was pretty alarming, but there was much worse to come when Trump was asked about the bombing of the Iran nuclear sites, and somehow called Joe Biden a deadhead.
