friends and outside advisers, most of whom he consults after dark

Yes but only on nights with no moon...in the dead of night.

Honestly the bias just oozes from these reporters/propagandists.

Bannon and Priebus have been fired so many times that Trump is sending them to N. Korea to ignite their Poodung missiles.

going to see a lot more caveats like this, so it wont be labeled as "fake News".

One note of caution: Trump often talks about firing people when things go south and does not follow through on it.

It is simply that Donald Trump is up in the morning before many of his staff arise, and is going strong eighteen hours later, when most of them have retired for the night.

President Trump really should have two shifts of staff, just to keep up.

Maybe more.

Actually Cernovich, Stone and Jones, who all have great sources, have been reporting for days on a likely, broad shakeup to include Spicer and Priebus, among others.

It’s pure speculation based on anonymous sources.

These kinds of rumors have been circulating in the media since the first Trump appointment.

These kinds of rumors of problems within the inner circle and with advisers, etc., will persist through the Trump presidency. That is what the media does; that is who they are.

As for the ‘White House sources’, I would not be at all surprised to learn that they are reporters in the Press tent on the White House campus.

White House sources tell me...the confidant said...

***********

There must be a long list that the media uses to attribute stories to unknown and unidentified people. A “source generator” if you will. Just pick and choose one for this week’s article (e.g., “highly placed source” or “someone close to the president”) from the list and, magically, there’s an instant excuse for another fake article. Its so obviously fabricated that its reached comical proportions.

No one is getting “wiped out.” Hysterical fake news, now 4 months going. Give it up.

“...friends and outside advisers, most of whom he consults after dark”
…in a secluded cemetery.

Honestly, this has to be a joke, people. The Trump-haters who write this dreck laugh while they type and visualize the Right going nuts about Fake News such as this.

From Wiki about the author of this article:

“In November 2015, Allen made an apology after the website Gawker reported that he offered to let Chelsea Clinton screen interview questions in advance of a proposed interview. The offer was made in a January 2013 email exchange between Allen and Hillary Clinton aide Philippe Reines. He also promised in the email that the interview would be “no surprises” and “no risk.”[14]”

You are correct. Practically since coming of age. The publisher, Jim VandeHei “graduated from Lourdes High School in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, in 1989. In 1995, he graduated from the University of Wisconsin–Oshkosh with a double major in journalism and political science. While an undergraduate, he served an internship with Democratic Senator Herb Kohl in 1994, which led to his decision to be a political journalist.”

Sounds like BS to me...

Trump expects people to be loyal to him and he will be loyal to them

Read art of the Deal..

He fires people who cannot get the job done

As for the GOP to get things done fast.. forget it there a bunch of fools

Trump will never give up...it may take a couple of years

I’m afraid that most do not follow the day-by-day developments in the various Departments. Sessions and Wilbur Ross, inter alia, are working nearly as hard as their boss. And to good effect. DeVos and Chao get little ink because Democrats will never let a Republican woman succeed. One should know by now that the crocodiles that occupy the swamp are the press. When Trump says ‘drain the swamp’, it is up to us to help him out.

Bookshelf, thanks. I have been reading about the almost activism bent of the author. What happened to who, what, when, where, why, ( and a pithy insightful question that get's an angle no one else does )and nothing but the facts mam.

I'd love to see a generation of dry, nerdly, almost boring "Joe Friday" types in the media where they report and we decide. Ya, I know, I am asking too much with generations of press mavens really being trained via Colleges to be team players/social activist in disguise.

Would we have stuffed government with nazis and japs during WWII?

Identify and eliminate enemy islamists from government which is saturated with them.
