Alfa,

The ties, those that are out and those to be released in the future...damage the credibility of the people named....cabinet members,advisors, relatives. That Flynn fell so easily makes Trump appear to be a weak leader, and in over his head. Essentially, just mistakes any novice politician would make...he's just the POTUS and making them while the entire world is watching.


Trump said he could shoot somebody on Broadway and not lose any popularity....and for certain element of his followers, it's true.

For other followers, he's in office now and they are going to base their support on how well he performs in office.
