“Shes a smart girl. ... Trump needs to listen to her.”
I think she and DJT are completely coordinated on this and it’s some type of theater. Not sure why I think that, but I do. They’ve been through too much together, and loyal to each other. If he truly were angry she’d be gone, as this has been going on for a week now.
I agree with your take.
There's nothing in DJT's behavior throughout his campaign and in the aftermath of his election that would suggest he'd let a subordinate make the rounds of Sunday shows voicing opinions that were not his own without consequence.
Silence so far from President-elect Trump.
