Are the wheels falling off the Trump Administration?

No.

When flyover country will determine that in fact, this "comic show" in far off Washington is starting to hurt their interests then the Administration will be in a world of trouble. For example, "Mamie down the street" might be suffering from reduced Medicare coverage, there's cuts to the government that mean "Tad is not getting the after school programs he needs," when there's an economic slowdown and they'll stop viewing the show in Washington as "sticking to the Establishment" and begin to realize that the country, to function, needs an establishment in Washington in the first place - reformed, but still (and no, no reformed establishment will be Trumpian, at all). Remember, they voted for Trump believing that he wouldn't cut their programs. They also voted for him believing that he would "sock it" to the neoliberal establishment.

When did Bush begin losing support? 2005, after Hurricane Katrina, and when the Iraq war began to hit small town America hard, when everyone knew someone who had lost a son or daughter in Iraq. And then when the economic slowdown of 2006 hit, they began to flip on the GOP.

It's precisely when Trump begins to lose the hold on middle America - and I mean, the persuadables, not the real hardcore lunatics and the fringe people - think Luke from Luke's Diner, who probably voted Republican, Taylor Doose. When they stop voting Republican, the GOP will be in a world of hurt. At that point, they'll boot a lot of people. And probably, the Sanders Democrats take a crack at the bat. But this won't be for a couple of years.

Let's stop doing this every 3 days and thinking every new crisis equals the fall of Donald Trump. It's going to take a very long time for the electorate to shift and acknowledge they made a mistake. The pain hasn't even begun.
