Trump to warring factions of the West Wing: 'Knock it off'
Business Insider ^ | 4/8/17 | Sonam Smith

Posted on 04/09/2017 12:29:39 PM PDT by markomalley

President Trump appears to be getting impatient with the infighting between his closest advisers.

The White House is becoming increasingly split between Steve Bannon, who favors a more nationalist approach to domestic and foreign policy, and Jared Kushner and senior economic adviser Gary Cohn, both of whom have tried to bring the president toward the center on key issues such as immigration reform.

Trump has not been impervious to the strained relationship between his closest confidants, and he issued a warning to his inner circle on Thursday at the Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, a source with direct knowledge of the situation told Axios . "You guys are close. Knock it off. Work together," Trump said. The New York Times reported that the order was aimed at Bannon and chief of staff Reince Priebus, regarding the increased squabbling between Bannon, Kushner, and Cohn.

Not a good look if the guys on the side of your base and your platform get the chewing out—especially if they are just counterpunching on the attacks leveled at them by “family”.

The radical Left MSM perpetuating the false narrative of discord within the Administration.

The MSM is the Country’s greatest threat.

Rumors are that Bannon's problem with Kushner is that he's a Democrat, or behaves like one.

"...allies of Kushner and Cohn have said that the president will put forth an agenda that favors more centrist policies on key issues."

"Centrist" = Liberal Democrat...

I agree, the enemy is within. Trump was wise to point this out from day one.

bring the president toward the center on key issues such as immigration reform.
******************************

Any time I hear the words “immigration reform” alarm bells go off. We don’t need reform, we need enforcement.
We have the laws, we need them enforced.
We should not change the laws to benefit those breaking them.
We did that once in 1986 and it resulted in 10 times the number of illegal aliens and a general disregard for our laws by foreigners.
It is fine to start with felons, but ALL illegal aliens ARE subject to removal and we should not have to wait until illegal aliens harm or kill Americans before they are removed.
President Trump pledged to end Obama’s illegal DACA program and yet it is still operating as if it were law and not something dreamed up by Obama. It has no basis in law and is illegal even if being run by President Trump.
Over 11,000 new illegal aliens have been given work permits since he took office and almost 50,000 renewals have been processed.
It is becoming President Trump’s illegal DACA program.

I’m sure Bannon’s saying “Boss, you’re either draining the swamp, or you’re breeding more mosquitoes.”

IGNORE THE MEDIA... THEY ARE FAKE NEWS..

AND IGNORE THE DUMB, JEALOUS, CRY BABIES THAT SPREAD ‘HEARSAY’ AND QUOTES THAT THEY KNOW NOTHING ABOUT, MANY OF THEM ARE POSTERS HERE...

Have not heard a word of how rich the Hussein Obama’s and Clinton's have gotten from skimming money off tax payers..
Many posters read like they didn't get a good education, nor a decent paying job,they seem to be jealous and envious of what others have or did...

We have waited so long, so much to do.
Everyone needs to exhale, focus, be patient and let the plan do it’s work.

And don’t forget to pray for our leadership.

If true Trumps doing what leaders do....understand the natural ‘egos’ of great men and get them to continue to work together.
The one in the toughest spot is Jarrad....family run businesses always have their differences and its harder on them then the employees.....I suspect likewise with this situation......especially with giant egos.

Jared doesn’t have any business being there at all. He’s a liberal Democrat trying to impose his political philosophy, right there with Ivanka, while his father-in-law is in office after having run on a conservative platform, voted in by a conservative base.

Jared is also a walking conflict of interest, finagling in the last couple of months to get try to the Chinese to bail out his monstrously bad real estate purchase in NYC with hundreds of millions of Chinese dollars. That is chutzpah that would make the Clinton syndicate blush.

Axios? I never heard of these guys until very recently. You sure these guys don't write fiction for daily women soap operas?
