I think not, with all due respects. And McMaster is also not evil. The idea that Kelly and McMaster are undermining Trump and against his plans was invented by the Fake Media which includes fools like Cernovich and Posobiec. Invented to try to weaken President Trump’s support and make him look like a weak fool who is surrounded by Bad People who control him.
There is no actual evidence of any kind that the President Trump is under the thumb of the Kushners or that their ideas or agendas influence his policy decisions, nor the idea that McMaster and Kelly are destroying or harming Trump’s administration.
I humbly urge anyone who is worried about the above to visit Thomas Wictor’s twitters and read up. He writes threads that are numbered and easy to read in proper sequence by clicking on a numbered comment.
Seriously. They are making it that Kushner was the brains behind the elections. I have read testimonies that it was Kushner who told Trump to “tone down the build the wall rhetoric” during the campaign and it was Lewanowski and Bannon who said “yeah, keep saying that”.
Trump makes the decisions and that’s why he’s prez. He does listen to his staff due to his business acumen but he does the decisions.
Exactly.
1) McMaster and Mattis have proven themselves trustworthy in terms of readjusting our foreign policy. Let’s look at NATO for example: with the increased pressure coming from us -> European countries are finally donating their fair share (2% of GDP) — which they had disgracefully avoided doing in the past.
The Trump admin has also done so far done a good job of navigating the nuanced landscape of two-faced nations like Russia.
2) Just because Secretary Tillerson and Trump disagree at times does not mean that is a bad thing! It’s healthy! There are other areas of the world where Tillerson’s expertise as a former Exxon oil chief prove to be indispensable.
3) Let’s not forget that Trump ultimately owns his final say and the cabinet plus Jared and Ivanka recognize that.
4) You know who has surprised me most? John Kelly. I urge anyone with doubts to watch the impressive press conference he gave yesterday (or was it Wednesday?) - wow. He was so adept and poised at handling the questions from the media and 100% BEHIND TRUMP THE WHOLE TIME. The press was at a loss for words. No wonder Trump keeps him around...and very close by at that!
5) Steve Bannon and Sebastian Gorka played their part at the right time — and now they are better off contributing to the President’s agenda from the outside...
6) On that note, more and more things continue to unravel about the lesser, more unpleasant dimensions to Bannon’s personality, character, and past. (Including having done business with Weinstein in Hollywood in the past...)
Just because Bannon has good ideology on paper does not mean he is a helpful presence in the White House at this point in the game.
7) What I don’t understand is the handing of the Iran deal to Congress. What does that mean?!
I was being sarcastic.
Bravo!! A year ago if you posted on FR that McMaster, Kelly, and Mattis would be in the WH advising POTUS everyone here would be doing cartwheels between shots of Makers Mark.
