The change here coming at the end of yet another tumultus week for President Trump, a week in which he continued to publicly humiliate his own attorney general Jeff Sessions. A week in which Anthony Scaramucci went on a profanity filled tirade and a week in in which republicans latest hopes died on the floor of the senate even after that defeat, though, opponents of republican efforts to replace obamacare are protesting outside of trump tower in new york this day.
