He is frustrated but that is the wrong attitude. James said to "count it all joy" -- that is the right attitude. Understand that Trump and his administration will perfect your patience, and you can't be a mature Christian if you are not patient. Think of the irony of calling him a baby if your not fully mature. Very often you see these guys who are questioning the Trump communication team drop their jaw when they see something that appears as a blatant lie (like saying they weren't trying to pin the Comey firing on the assistant AG). But James says that if you need wisdom to deal with the trial, then ask.

So I think this is a good example of the error I am talking about which is not helpful. Be patient. Trump has only been president for about 100 days and we already may have evidence of obstruction of justice (a valid basis for impeachment), the pressure for the tax returns has intensified while Trump appears to be more and more desperate. If those tax returns turn up a very close tie to Russian financing it would reveal that Trump is a liar based on his Tweet disavowing any connection at all. That would also be a very strong basis for impeachment. Because of all this a good 65% of Americans do not trust Trump, are concerned about his ties to Russia and tax returns, so this provides a political mandate. Finally, in June there is a key election in Georgia. If the democrat wins you will see a defection from Trump by those in the Republican party that are concerned about the midterm elections.
