"Trump returns to the White House this week just as he left -- lonely, angry and not happy with much of anyone. "He now lives within himself, which is a dangerous place for Donald Trump to be," says someone who speaks with the President. "I see him emotionally withdrawing. He's gained weight. He doesn't have anybody whom he trusts." There are those telling the President to move on from the insularity of his original cast of characters. "Step up and forget the Forever Trumpers," one ally says he told the President. "Now you need the best professionals." But that misses one key point: Trumpworld is run by Trump. Mistakes are made by Trump. And all of this is powered by this singular view on the Russia crisis, says one ally: that Trump believes he has no responsibility for any of this political trauma, that it is created by the mainstream media concocting conspiracies where none exist."
