There is an interesting dynamic playing out.
Most here refused to accept there was a problem between Jared and Bannon sides. Not all ..but most. Fake News and Nevertrumper were often used.
When Trump kicked Bannon in public...people said..fake news...reporter lying etc...
The fact is there is/was a problem between Jared and Bannon.
So if you accept that..then you watch to see how it is playing in the media.
Morning Joe is clearly Team Kushner.
Mercers or someone else brought the hammer down and told Breitbart editors no more negative stories on Jared. This might have been an attempt at making a deal with Kushners side.
Bannon cannot win over Ivanka. He must kowtow until Jared falls on his face.
Or go take a job with Mercers.
The “narrative” is the function of the MSM. It is its heartbeat. Media IS the LEFT.
I didn’t know Paul Ryan works at the WH. Thanks for telling me.
Isn't it? What's not amazing is we get the usual pushback from the forces of evil when Freepers get ahead of the curve. The regular core of Freepers got it correct, ahead of the curve, about
US shenanigans in Ukraine
the slimy reasons for intervention in Iraq, Egypt, Syria, Libya, Afghanistan etc
that US voters were so fed up that Trump was from day one a very possible victor
how horrific it was to let ISIS march across the desert, to Mosul
McCain's involvement and the weapons transfer mess involving Benghazi
when Cruz's campaign made some serious tactical errors
About the cynicism for HOR 'pubs who don't really support the agenda.
I do suspect this Jared/Ivanka situation falls into that category. We didn't elect them. One reason Trump was elected was across the spectrum people were sick of Bush/Clinton behaving as dynasties. There's a real danger that the swamp creatures are taking over the WH. It's normal course for the questions to occur very early here. That's because a lot of Freepers are so well-informed and so passionate about our values.
Objectivity and curiosity should always lead one to the source of the stink. The source is the heaping pile of fraud served up daily by the MSM. They do not report. They create. The MSM IS the LEFT.
>> Bannon cannot win over Ivanka. He must kowtow until Jared falls on his face. Or go take a job with Mercers <<
Trump should avoid the latter possibility at all costs. He needs to have Bannon inside the tent and p**sing out, not outside the tent and p**sing in.
some time ago Lamecherry..(who is kind of out there..and now really against Team Ivanka)..
made an interesting point about Kellyanne seeking protection from what she called the Indiana Mafia.
Pence and Rokita have a connection. she hired one of Rokita’s staffers...I think his Chief of Staff but can’t say for sure at the moment.
Kellyanne throwing shade at Bannon is telling. Drudge even used those words when linking the story
Something like
kellyanne throws shade
Obviously something unnamed officials don't like.
Please, the people who worked for Obama and who are still there want to isolate Trump so no dissenting voices are heard and no one can tell Trump he needs more facts and there's no harm in waiting on the facts to all come in.
When Trump has all the facts he makes the right decision.
When people are yelling emotional crap about "da chilren" in some photos and telling him he'll look weak if he doesn't react to something instantly, he's probably being set up to act before he has the all facts because people know he will act differently if he does know all the facts.
The holdovers have decided they can use Trumps mercurial personality against. Both Kushner and Bannon, each in their own way, help keep Trump from being manipulated by the Obama machine that's still largely in place.
Forget asking what Trump's up to, he's trying to keep his promises but he can be manipulated into screwing up rather than following his own best instincts. He's used to the business world which is a very good thing. Unfortunately, the professional aristocracy who have been in politics all their lives (military and civilian aristocrats alike, there are plenty of political generals) focus on manipulation far more than people in business.
Those in the political game will stab each other in the back whether doing so furthers their agenda or not. Just as long as they weaken the person they count manipulating someone into a mistake as a great success.
When it comes to Kushner, I hope Bannon calms down then stays involved right along with Kushner. I also wish Trump would ignore the political class and the media to get both his sons involved, too. I don't know who would run the company in that case, but he should at least get them cleared so he can bonce things off of them without worrying about breaking the rules. The more people Trump has around him who know him, know how he thinks, and who he trusts, the better off the country will be and the sooner he'll get the swamp drained. I know that's too much to hope for but that's the way I see it.
JMHo, and always remember, everyone has one
Not the point.
The point is that Trump hired him as an advisor and he was a Trump supporter.
This isn’t what Trump’s base space voted for.

Everyday I find something else to be concerned about. While Trump has made some progress on a few things, his administration has thus far exhibited nepotism, inconsistency, and a general lack of a clear direction. I support Trump but am getting worried about some of the things I see. Moreover, he seems unable or unwilling to get rid of many Obama appointees. For example, why or earth is Koskinen STILL head of the IRS? I find that incredible and unacceptable. We voted to get rid of people like this.
Somebody has a fantastic matchup done like a basketball tourney diagram.
I think they have some of the winners wrong in the brackets but the idea was great.
>> I didn’t know Paul Ryan works at the WH <<
Yes, his office is right next to that of Gen. Petreas.
Trump is assigning trusted family members to scope-out “The Deep State”?
I sooooo want to think Trump will stay the course WE chose him for.
I’m sooooo tired of being baited and switched on so many things.
I’ll be sooooo pissed if Trump switches.
Kudlow is a half-hearted Republican, globalist, Chamber of Commerce, “goldilocks” hack. Worst talk show host in America.
For the most part, I agree. However, the source in this case is the Washington Free Beacon, not MSNBC or Mother Jones.
I rest my case...
Inconsistency is becoming the hallmark of the Trump presidency. It is becoming clear that he is a spontaneous personality who often shoots from the hip. This kind of impulsiveness is not good for the markets.
I support Trump but he needs to up his game. He’s in the Big Leagues now and needs to play like it.
Its also disconcerting to see the growing Leftist influence in his administration.
Trump is trying to clear the rats out of the intel machinery. Likely he feels he can trust only a family member to be pointman on that.
Unfortunately, I don’t have the luxury of being able to sit back and pray that all will be right.
I have to be in the middle of it figuring out what is happening so I don’t get blindsided like the article from Trump yesterday reversing course on major items..which spooked the market and cost me a ton of money.
