We've been saying this here on FR for awhile. I'm a bit disappointed that the Leakers weren't brought away in handcuffs and charged with treason before President Trump returned to DC. It's only that kind of dramatic action that will thwart the coup.

What we've been saying? President Trump needs to surround himself with a lean, 100% loyal WH staff. That includes in their personal lives. The only way to stop the leaks is to not talk or govern anywhere near the scum who aren't 100% committed to the Deplorable Agenda. If that involves getting The Princess back to NYC, I'm 100% for that.

Amen.

Trump needs to treat establishment political types like Mattis treats isis.

Annihilation.

“I’m a bit disappointed that the Leakers weren’t brought away in handcuffs and charged with treason...”

Some caution is advisable here - seeking retribution against “the leakers” reinforces the narrative that the leaks and the leakers are real.

Remember Trump himself just tweeted upon his return that these supposedly leaked stories may be fake news, especially if they begin with “according to unnamed sources within the administration”.

The fake news is taking advantage of the fact that Trump supporters will naturally rise to Trump’s defense - so they set up a straw man (the Leaker) knowing we will be furious - we are getting our buttons pushed.

The real enemy is the fake news.

I’m not saying there are never leaks - I know there are.

I’m just saying - listen to Trump’s own words of caution the other day - be careful when the fake news makes up stories out of thin air and attributes them to leaks.

Consider the source - these so-called leakers may not even exist - it’s just the fake news constantly trying to paint a picture that the Trump administration is in turmoil, fraught with infighting, backstabbing and yes, leaks.

I have in Trump’s corner since his first speech in AZ after he announced his candidacy for President.

Having said that ... If anything that Trump has done to date during his presidency that I strongly disagree with is to bring his daughter and her husband into the inner sanctum of his govt. I strongly detest nepotism but I am not naive to know that it occurs everywhere.

They have no damn business being there in a official capacity. What are their qualifications other than being family? Sure, we know Trump trusts their judgement but damn, this complication just adds another target dimension on Trump’s back.
