The first days inside Trump’s White House: Fury, tumult and a reboot

President Trump had just returned to the White House on Saturday from his final inauguration event, a tranquil interfaith prayer service, when the flashes of anger began to build.

[gogeo]

Oh, piff.

"When I want to know what's going on in Trump's inner circle, I look at the Washington Post."

See how silly that looks?

[RoseofTexas]

🤣LOL!! Sometimes things get real series(FR lingual) and BIGLY that we need to laugh a few!!

[Lazamataz]

YAY! More bushlitt from the WashingFake News!!!

I bet they sourced all this from CNN!

[RummyChick]

This is my favorite picture of the two. And yes, I think Jared plans on a political career. If Conway is in his way or causing roadblocks he will take her out.

[Lazamataz]

It’s not just that most of the words in this article are lies. Even the commas and periods are lies.

Every word in this propaganda is a lie, including 'and' and 'the'.

[txhurl]

The comms directive for the EPA and USDA...

Can you not steal the salient text from their article, or perhaps summarize the important points?

I do not want to give the Washington Compost any "hits" on their server, because they use these to collect advertising revenue.

I want them to die financially. I don't want them to make any money off of me. In fact, if I could find an easy way to run up their expenses, I would do that.

[RummyChick]

It is a long article. My takeaway is this paragraph and I believe it is possible. It may not be true..but I believe it is possible that it is true

"Two people close to the transition also said a number of Trump’s most loyal campaign aides have been alarmed by Kushner’s efforts to elbow aside anyone he perceives as a possible threat to his role as Trump’s chief consigliere. At one point during the transition, Kushner had argued internally against giving Conway a White House role, these two people said."

And remember, in the past ..WAPO has been an arm for the CIA...OFFICIALLY as in Operation Mockingbird and ahem..unofficially.

I have read articles providing what I regarded as convincing evidence that a collaboration between the CIA and the Washington Post is how they took out Nixon.

As far as I'm concerned, we still need to be working on getting some revenge for that bit of work.

The real reason there was anger was that FreeRepublic was down.

[RummyChick]

I really believe that we would have debunked that crowd photo better than Spicer. He missed an opportunity that Saturday.

You can’t say the photo doesn’t exist. He should have pinpointed when the photo was taken and he didn’t.

Had FR been up there people might have picked up on something to help the Trump team.

People here quickly dissect stuff.

I think Trumps people check this site out.

We can debunk things if they pay attention.

So many forensic people here ;-) Armchair detectives!

[DiogenesLamp]

Thanks.

Potential for a “Get Smart” type conversation!

[Tammy8]

True. I worked as a government contractor in a secure area for many years; the thing that amazed me is they acted like I was invisible and talked freely in areas where I was working. There was nothing stopping me from calling news people with what I overheard, other than my own conscience.

Due to all these leaks Trump will have no choice except to invoke The Cone Of Silence.

[Grampa Dave]

I stopped subscribing about a decade ago.

When I to our local library, I scan it.

The front page this week as you noted was typical MSM slant.

I didn’t bother going into it. A guy behind me said, “That was a quick read”!

I replied that the front page was as the Compost and Ny Slimes (exact words).

When I offered to him, he said no thanks.

[NonValueAdded]

Yes, quite the eclectic collection of expertise. The Ra^thergate incident was amazing to behold.

[ClandestineGuy]

Personally, I’m not going to try and armchair quarterback Trump just yet. He has several orders of magnitude more experience in duplicitous and cutthroat dealings than most of us, and many are trying to judge an individual that they have never met or know anything about except what they have read the last couple months. Trump has known and interacted with him daily for several years.

I rather doubt we are going to “sniff out” a loyalty or ambition issue that the President is blind to. I also suspect Trump had Jared checked out 100 ways to Sunday before the marriage to Ivanka. He doesn’t seem the type to let personal politics override the mission.

I’m sure Trump surrounds himself with strong individuals that have dissenting opinions at times. I’m also sure he is perfectly willing to drop the hammer on anyone that steps over the line and puts his presidency or the country at risk.

Hey, WaP, go ahead and keep focusing on these kinds of anonymous, unsubstantiated rumors, instead of reporting on the steady stream of EOs emerging daily that systematically dismantle obama’s “legacy”, and all of the amazing meetings that President Trump is having with business, unions, the GOP Congressional delegation and heads of states from around the world.

I think people are far better served by consistent lies from WaPo rather than the occasional accidental bit of truth, because that way people know they aren’t missing anything when they turn to other sources for actual news.
