This week has been a tumultuous one for the White House, with a flurry of activity and seemingly no end in sight. Despite the busy schedule, the week ended on a sour note as President Trump faced criticism from both sides of the aisle over his handling of several key issues. The most controversial issue this week was immigration reform. After weeks of negotiations between Republicans and Democrats, it seemed that an agreement had finally been reached. However, just hours before the deal was set to be announced, President Trump abruptly reversed course and declared he would not sign any bill that did not include funding for his proposed border wall. This move infuriated both sides of the aisle and led to an impasse that shows no signs of being resolved anytime soon. In addition to immigration reform, President Trump also made headlines this week due to his response to Hurricane Maria's devastation in Puerto Rico. The president's comments about how Puerto Rico should be "grateful" for what he has done were met with widespread condemnation from those who believe he is not doing enough to help those affected by the storm. His comments have further strained relations between Washington and San Juan and could lead to more tension down the line if nothing is done soon. On top of all this, there were also reports that President Trump is considering firing Attorney General Jeff Sessions after months of public feuding between them over various issues such as immigration reform and special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. This could potentially lead to even more chaos within the administration if it comes to pass, as many fear it will create a power vacuum within the Justice Department that could be filled by someone less qualified or even hostile towards Mueller's investigation. Overall, it has been a busy but ultimately unproductive week at the White House with little progress made on any major issue facing America today. With tensions running high on all sides and no resolution in sight for any of these pressing matters, it looks like things are only going to get worse before they get better at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
