Examples I don't understand of some happenings....Nikki Haley talking about regime change instead of on getting together to annihilate ISIS. Gary Cohn (sp) saying coal is obsolete. Ivanka Trump meeting privately with Planned Parenthood and saying afterward they don't perform abortions. This has to end.
Also, there HAVE to be some patriotic folks in DC who will get McCain locked up in a padded room for good. His insane ravings have become the "go to" for media hacks who want to demonstrate bipartisan opposition to Trump.
I completely agree that Haley and Cohn’s off message comments are disturbing - they are high level appointees and must not be allowed to go off message. These are good examples of where the Trump administration needs to get its act together.
McCain, well I agree there too - but there’s not much Trump can do about him.
As for Ivanka, I did a little googling and could not find where she said that. I did find some statements by the PP director Ivanka met with, explaining why they met from her point of view. If you can provide a link - preferably a video, or at least a credible transcript, I’d appreciate it. Meanwhile, I’m doubtful she made such a statement. Even if she did, I don’t think her token role as adviser requires her to be as on message as say, if she had a real role i.e. the director of Health and Human Services.
I know if I were POTUS, and one of my adult children expressed interest I would give them a token job title such as Special Advisor rather than say no. Face it, they are going to have access anyway, so what’s the harm?
Not to be flip, but I really don’t think we have to worry about Ivanka and Jared taking over Trump’s mind.
My point in the previous post was not to deny there are some areas where Trump has to get his act together. There are. My point was that the fake news is working day and night to create the impression that the Trump administration is a disaster - fraught with chaos, turmoil, infighting, broken campaign promises, hidden agendas, backstabbing, nepotism, obstruction, conflict of interest and leaking.
Trump is doing fine - the fake news invents these stories out of thin air and reports them as if they are news. Since there is no source they attribute them to leaks. We dutifully read the news and repost the stories on FR, then talk about them as if they are true.
