Many or most of Trump's wounds tend to be self-inflicted, but not all.
Trump may not have drained the swamp yet (although Comey, Rybicki, Baker, Strzok, Page, McCabe, Rosenstein, Ohr, (under investigation) are a start). But in fairness to Trump, he did not fully know during the campaign that most of his energy would be tied up in fending off a coup which damn near brought him down. He may not have lived up to the promise to drain the swamp but he sure as hell did hand to hand combat with it each and every day. We dont know how that story is going to end just yet. He has just survived this Mueller thing and then Congress is going to try to politically assassinate him too. Trump is trying to get to the point where independent counsels are appointed for the true russian conspirators/ie. hillary and the state intel agencies and to get Horowitz's report to begin building on it. But Congress is trying to either take him down or sap all his energy to keep him from doing that.
We will see how that ends out. The armchair analysts might think he could have worked on surviving the coup and all the intel agencies working against him and still have made more progress on draining the swamp. Might be more difficult for the one who actually has to do it. Obama, Clapper, Rice and Brennan are still hoping that the drain-the-swamp effort can be contained because it is headed straight at them otherwise. Horowitz already has all the goods on the fbi/doj and it is just a matter of how he packages and proceeds with it. He is also well into the pants of State Department and connections to Obama etc. I am going to keep Trump on probation there for another six months. He has to get that impeachment thing off his arse too which will happen but it takes work and energy.
