Steve Benen nailed it in an August 18, 2017 post on The Maddow Blog on why every week really has been Trump's worst week ever... I will post the link asap.

Incorrigible, Intentional and Damnable
Surprise! Surprise! NOT.
We got what they paid for. A faux CEO who never had a Board or any other check to rein in or moderate his choices. He is an end unto himself, perhaps the ultimate known narcissist. The madman in the market place, whom many still cannot manage to decisively move away from. They fail to put country first, and wrongly hedge their bets, thinking they do not reek of Trump's stink. Decency? Courage? Honesty? Basic American values? All are sacrificed to feed a delusional lunacy. A total misconception, or complete inability to grasp the finite limits of power and greed, is displayed for all the world to see. It will not end well for Mr Trump. The ignominy of his life and ambitions will unravel, and it will not end well for him. He does not really see it coming, but we do. The world also sees what a farce he presents. Time for gathering rosebuds is past. Engines of the Titanic are failing. The soapbox is slowly being yanked out from under him. Soon even the sycophants and cowards will jump ship. But let us be clear about one more thing: Trump will go down with his own crappy ship, not ours. Trump never ever boarded the Ship of State, the United States of America. He was always strapped onto his pathetic little dinghy. He never even had a paddle, or a life-jacket, just his tiny hands, which explains a lot.
One good nugget today from David Graham's "The White House is Under Seige" in The Atlantic:
" The optimists espouse the view that they can talk Trump out of a central tenet of his political identity. The improbability of that happening is manifest in the case of Trump’s manufacturing and strategy councils, in which he would not sacrifice white identity politics to defend another of his top priorities..."
