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.

Stopped right there.

Just another day at the office for the globals— spreading FUD. Fear, uncertainty, doubt.

We’d do well to give credence only to the words that come out of the mouth of PDJT.

Oh, and I was a manager in my family’s business. The only way you could say that is “tough” is because you’re in so much a better position than anyone else. An embarrassment of riches, if you will.

But Jared and Ivanka both seem to be beyond embarrassment.

Well the first thing you need to do is stop being afraid...and remember the man you voted for saying to all...you have to be flexible. Trumps a big picture guy and only at this for a couple on months amid a barrage of attacks.....give him the room he needs..he'll work it out....and so will all there who stand with him. He's going to be moving people around as he fills positions and where he thinks they do best for his agenda and as the environment changes.......that's what a leader does. .....and those who can't handle will leave on their own....or he'll let them go. Not about fighting within....it's about great egos who can sometimes get in the way....

Kushner is family and for Pres. Trump that means a lot. Kushner may bow out, but no way will Pres. Trump tell him to leave. Trump is one of those guys for who there is Family and then everyone else. So get used to Kushner and Ivanka and their influence.

Jarad is there to serve Trumps agenda just like everybody else....and this regardless of his own bias if indeed there is one. Buck stops with Trump and nobody else. They know this.

So how do you know what Jarad is or not doing? or for that matter any within Trumps administration? Do you think it’s too big for Trump to handle?

As for anything to do with China...let these people work it out however possible to get China to co-operate regarding what Trump wants in the bigger picture....I have no problem with the “deals” to make that happen. It’s the “deal” we agreed on when we voted for him to make deals.

As for anything happening, if it’s happening, with Jarad and chinese on the side....that too will come out in the wash. Patience is a virtue we all need.

I see that you, like Jared, are a NY Democrat.

Enough said.

So that’s it, if only the good Kushners will allow China to pour hundreds of millions into their personal coffers, then all US and China relations can be worked out.

If you don’t think that’s leading to a Democrat majority House and a Trump impeachment, you’re fooling yourself.

In the end, if Trump has to choose between firing Bannon or Jared, we all know it’s going to be Bannon! This is what totally sucks about inviting family into your administration; it always clouds one’s judgement!

In my mind, Ivanka and Jared are the biggest problems currently in Trump’s administration! Why they were given “Senior Advisor” status is beyond me.

These two need to be sent packing, but alas, Trump will always take their side...after-all, this is his “little girl.”

Axios again?

When you're a leftist or never trumper (redundant), why leave a good narrative go to waste. How long did it take for the Russian narrative to fall by the wayside? Then again, maybe it didn't.

I’m not listening to the Democrats. And what do you think is baloney—if Trump and his kids keep turning to the left the GOP will lose the House? That if they lose the House impeachment proceedings will begin? Or, that if impeachment proceedings begin, Kushner’s conflict of interest is where they will start with charges?
