The “West Wing Democrats,” as they are colloquially known, include people like the president’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, his wife the president’s daughter Ivanka Trump, National Security Adviser three-star Army Gen. H.R. McMaster, National Economic Council director Gary Cohn, new White House chief of staff retired Marine Gen. John Kelly, and Deputy National Security Adviser Dina Habib Powell. Powell served with Cohn in a senior position at Goldman Sachs before going to work in the White House. All of them are Democrats, though Powell claims to be a Republican given her short time working in George W. Bush’s White House.
Each of them are engaged, as Breitbart News and virtually everyone else has detailed, in a deep effort to stop the president from implementing the agenda he campaigned on in 2016. They view their roles as forces of moderation, trying to stop President Trump from doing what he promised for the American people in his landslide electoral college victory in 2016 over Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton. And they align with forces in the “opposition party” media—or as has Gorka has defined it previously, the “Fake News Industrial Complex”—as well as throughout the political class in Washington to achieve their objective. Leaks about their self-righteous opposition to Trump ideas, actions, and policies—like his response to Charlottesville, or his Sheriff Joe Arpaio pardon, or the way he has handled various crises—are all about using their influence to slow him down. They also work with people like House Speaker Paul Ryan—a demonstrably anti-Trump force in Congress—as well as Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, and others, to hold the president back.

It’s better to not have a staff at all then have one that is working to subvert you.
I love your optimism.
I’m just concerned with 8 years of Trump for now!!
200 years. The next obama could set these coming 8 years’ changes back in a year.
Why did he hire all these dems/liberals????
I agree with Gorka’s report on globalism in the Trump White House... and it can be pointed to Ivanka and Jared... the rest are power hungry and global oriented... that’s what it looks like! Trump, where did you go?! You give a good rally, but what goes on in the meantime?!
There just aren’t that many normal Americans to fill those positions. Professional politicians and military people are all deep staters. It is a problem. You could probably count on one hand the number of true believers in economic nationalism available in DC and/or NY.
Fake News can also come from the right.
He’s filling the swamp.
Trump should have his trusted people in top positions investigating ALL the dem scandals. That would keep them too busy ducking to mount an attack against him... Or at least slow it down somewhat.
So why are they all there...still?
One of these must be the answer.
1. Trump isn’t who he says he is.
2. Trump is blackmailed...but also has some others blackmailed, so a coldwar exists
3. He has mischaracterized these swappers and doesn’t believe us and others who label them
4. He is going to fire them but hasn’t found replacements and is waiting
I believe it is a combination of
2 and 3.
There may be a 5, but a stretch...Bannon and gorka let go to do more effective work a la Alinsky, from the outside ...this choice is a toughie...I have ti study it more.
I totally support what President Trump strives to achieve. Thank God he did what was the right thing by pardoning Joe Arapaio. He can still turn things around. He has to stop taking political advice from those who aren't in tune with what President Trump wants to achieve.
Why does Trump even need a staff? The congress is a stone wall and nothing is getting done anyway. I would prefer that Trump stand alone then surround himself with swamp rats.
Maybe because to him, they are no worse than the GOPe equivalent he'd have to rely on? I wish I knew.
(Or maybe not.)
Mr. niteowl77
There are a few here..such as me...that have been talking about this for months. We get attacked...quite viciously with ridiculous posts.
Bannon..now on the outside..through breitbart.. .is pointing out what a few have been saying.
So, why haven’t people here been willing to acknowledge what has been pretty obvious. I dont know
But trumps willingness to have a dem WH could be,in part, beause he thinks his base will accept it
Most here did
Trump needed to hire people whose main qualification was loyalty to him and a commitment to enact Trump’s agenda for the American people. This required everyone of these appointees on day one to replace the top two levels in eac Department and Agency with like-minded professionals, with a mandate to weed out leakers and Obama loyalists. The go slow approach gave the Dems time to undermine Trump, the most glaring example of which is Justice and the FBI. Sessions was appointed Feb 9th. Coney and his deputy should have both been gone that same day. Had that been done there would be no Mueller.
He had the hubris to think he could take on IC before he had people in place. it was a monumental mistake that I could have ..and probably did warn him about it here. Of course..any such attempt to warn about IC would have been met with derision and personal attacks that still continue with claims of conspiracy nut
I dont think he can recover. It is going to be a watered down trump.
Sad..but true. It is still better than clinton
Trump does not need to be blackmailed. He is blinded by his love for his daughter Ivanka and is influenced by her. (Before anyone attacks, I did not say controlled by) Sad to think that a father’s love would be used to do liberal damage to his agenda and our nation.
I believe he loves this country. I also believe Ivanka does not see her feminist, liberal ideas as a bad thing but rather as how life should be. Maybe if she were not so young and had any life experience outside of a elite bubble she would see for example that all taxpayers should not be responsible to pay for maternity leave or child care for those who choose to procreate.
Can’t Pres Trump just fire the Demoncrats and replace them with people without a political tag or agenda? Are there any of ‘those’ left??
and...please remind me again why were they hired in the first place?
thank you
how’s this for a theory of why....
The daughter and her husband I can see...yep....I don’t agree but I can understand the family thing. I get it.
But why the others?
We all know at the very least, Pres Trump is not stupid like Bush, Bambi, and Bill. So what about the others? Is he setting them up? Is he hoping they leak away like an old ship? Does he think he can be more effective at this point, feeding the leakers exactly what he wants to feed them, knowing they will leak....including his lovely daughter and her hubby?
The question I have to answer before dismissing the above?
Is President Trump that friggin stupid to Surround himself with not one or 2, but 8-9, obvious vetted Demoncrats without having a specific plan of how to ‘utilize them’ to his advantage??
Answer to self: No f’n way is this President Trump THAT stupid.
Capisce People?? Gosh. Relax. Enjoy the miracle that is happening before our very eyes.
