<p><strong>Top Republicans tell us</strong> they're as rattled as ever by P=esident Trump and his White House -- and want an intervention. Their grave=t long-term concern (beyond the Russia scandal): Trump's devil-may-care ef=ort to run the free world in the same improvisational, family-focused styl= that worked so well with for his campaign and business.</p><ul><li><stron=>Candidate Trump,</strong> with hardly any staff and prep, was agile and a=thentic. Key Republicans think President Trump, with hardly any staff and =rep, seems small or lost. A strategist who works closely with the administ=ation said: "The entire West Wing staff sat in an unplanned press conferen=e in the middle of a Thursday. Every time I turn on cable news, I see lite=ally everybody from the chief of staff on down sitting in the president's =ress events like interns trying to get into the background of a photo shoo=."</li><li><strong>Candidate Trump </strong>electrified crowds and inocula himself from criticism by blaming the "dishonest" media for every misha=. President Trump seems a little unhinged tweeting his mornings away and w=ining about "fake news" as his legislative priorities flounder. "These guy= have a golden opportunity to make massive change, and they're squandering=it with all this silliness," said one of Washington's top lobbyists. "Beca=se at the end of the day, it's all about him."</li><li><span></span><stron=>Candidate Trump </strong>stoked his base with relentless attacks on estab=ishment Republican like John McCain. Now, the McCains of the world have th= power to strike back, rhetorically and substantively. It's no secret Trum= has very few authentic admirers among Senate Republicans. This could bite=him badly when it comes to the Flynn/Russia investigation. </li><li><span>=/span><strong>But, but, but ...</strong> Like the campaign, Trump has zero=interest in changing any of this and firmly believes he's off to a strong,=if not stellar, start.</li></ul><p><strong>Parallel Universe: winning bigl= ... </strong>To Trump, this will feel laughably familiar to the Republica= establishment whining when he announced, when he won the nomination, when=he stumbled in debates, when he surely couldn't win the presidency. He tr=ly believes this had been the best start to a presidency in history, and n= one around would ever disagree to his face. </p><ul> <li><strong>The stoc= market is soaring: </strong>You need to go back to LBJ to see a spike lik= during the first month in office.</li><li><strong>His polls looks good, <=strong>some even great, to his eyes. Drudge had Rassmuseen's 55 percent ap=roval rating leading his site yesterday, and several other polls showed Tr=mp near 50. Even the worst polls -- Pew has him at 39 -- show his support =ith Republicans exceeds Reagan or the Bushes.</li><li><strong>And he can s=ill sell out </strong>The Show. Every network cut in to show his press-bas=ing press conference, and Floridians will pack an airport hangar in Melbou=ne with Trump-loving on Saturday at 5 p.m. for his first post-election ral=y -- <a href="http://link.axios.com/click/8895425.32201/aHR0cDovL2JpZ3N0=3J5LmFwLm9yZy9hcnRpY2xlLzMxMjc5N2U3MzJlMTRkNzk5MDg4ZWU2ZTRmZTQwNjRjL21vbnR=LXByZXNpZGVuY3ktdHJ1bXAtcHJlcGFyZXMtY2FtcGFpZ24tcmFsbHk_dXRtX3NvdXJjZT1uZX=zbGV0dGVyJnV0bV9tZWRpdW09ZW1haWwmdXRtX2NhbXBhaWduPW5ld3NsZXR0ZXJfYXhpb3Nhb=/5871993924c17c54d77a8b8cBfaed5829" target="_blank">1,354 days before th= 2020 election</a>.</li><li><strong>Why this matters: </strong>Why do you =hink?
