Two radical moves by Donald Trump on Friday exhibit a disturbing new side of the president who is showing signs of increased agitation when things don’t go his way.

According to an analysis by the New York Times’ Zolan Kanno-Youngs, Trump’s kneejerk firing of the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Erika McEntarfer, combined with nuclear saber-rattling at Russia over comments made by Dmitri Medvedev, described as “the Kremlin’s favorite online troll,” is in indication of his increasing “volatility” not seen before.

Pointing out that the president just returned from what could be considered a successful trip abroad, Kanno-Youngs noted Trump seemed overly put off that things at home were not going as well when “confronted with foes and facts that he could not easily control, displayed another side of himself, responding with disproportionate intensity and a distinct impatience.”

As he noted, Trump no longer can tolerate when facts and people refuse to “bend to his will.”

According to former Trump administration official John Bolton, no one should be surprised at this uglier turn.

“I think he deliberately surrounded himself with yes men and yes women,” he told the Times. “It’s more evidence he’s not fit to be president. This is not the way a president responds to either one of these situations.”

When it came to Trump’s increased agitation with Russia that could lead to a deadly escalation, Bolton suggested the president obviously hasn’t thought it through.

“He may not even understand what he’s doing. It’s so natural to him to say outrageous things that he’s incapable of thinking about the strategic consequences,” he accused before adding, “Trump is not deterred by reality. He just says what he wants to say.”
