| Donald Trump has 'turned into a pressure cooker that frequently explodes', say White House staff Posted: 11 Oct 2017 12:42 AM PDT  Donald Trump, angry with officials he appointed and frustrated with his failure to progress his legislative agenda, is said to have turned into a "pressure cooker" who frequently explodes at those around him.

Meanwhile, his relationship with Chief of Staff John Kelly, the former general appointed to try and bring order to the chaos of the White House, may have become "irreparable", according to one report.

| 3 Ways China and America Could go to War in the South China Sea Posted: 10 Oct 2017 06:55 PM PDT  As Denny Roy has argued, China is playing offense in the South China Sea. By establishing facts on the ground (indeed, establishing "ground"), it is creating a situation in which normal U.S. behavior looks like destabilizing intervention.
