| I'm going to hold my breath until that mean old John Kelly gives me back my Twitter machine. |
White House chief of staff John Kelly’s celebrated efforts to corral his notoriously undisciplined boss may not be 100 percent effective, according to an unsurprising new report in The Wall Street Journal. Apparently, President Trump has been known to summon aides to his private quarters at night to give them assignments, which he then asks them to keep secret from Kelly.
The Journal also reports that, according to several anonymous sources, Trump sometimes dodges his official call schedules so he can sneak in advice from friends outside the White House. That is, again, to avoid Kelly and Trump’s other minders’ attempts to control who the president talks to and what information he receives. From the other end, Trump’s friends have reportedly been getting around Kelly by passing messages to Trump through the First Lady, who has, according to the Journal, “taken on a more central role as a political adviser” since moving into the White House over the summer.
The White House didn’t comment on the story, but staffers maintained that Trump and Kelly continue to get along and work well together. Melania Trump’s spokesperson, on the other hand, called the reports “more fake news.” But a more accurate categorization would probably be: “more leaked news that characterizes the president as a mischievous little boy treating the White House as his clubhouse and his advisers like substitute teachers.”
You know I thought people were half joking when they referred to Trump as the Toddler-in-Chief.
But now that seems to be precisely the correct definition for who he is.
Gryphen, this report just in:

Oh goodie, will he also look at how much trump has enriched himself at the expense of the taxpayers?
DeleteJust what we need - an illiterate eurotrash nude model helping run the country. We are doomed.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't have used those words, however,I fully agree.
Deletei've heard she speaks several languages-she can't be too dumb. i don't have a real problem with her. you can see she hates the whole thing. maybe she giving out the wrong information. we can hope.
DeleteMore like a Russian agent who’s a go-between with Putin.
DeleteYou mean she speaks several languages just like she has a degree and writes all of her speeches? I wouldn’t have a problem with her as well if she was just a private citizen but she’s not.
DeleteWell it depends on what she considers speaking a foreign language. Many people can say hello in several languages, doesn't mean they are fluent.
DeleteI can believe she gets private or personal calls from people wanting to speak directly to Trump. I doubt she running anything. The 64K question is what or why would Trump choose to circumvent Kelly? Or who is it that Trump is speaking with that it be a secret at the office? Also, just wtf games are afoot between Kelly and Trump.
DeleteIf this is true Kelly can resign or put up with nonsense even if it is a prestigious position. Meanwhile Reince Preibus may be thinking welcome to my world, Kelly! Lol
Way back in the 1970's our dog could shake hands in multiple languages: English, French, Spanish, German, Russian and Urdu. Pretty smart for a Pontiac Pound Hound.
DeleteBeaglemom
i can swear in 5 languages. comes in real handy when you drop something heavy on your foot.
DeleteCan you imagine the morale inside that place?
ReplyDeleteNo, it sounds cloak and dagger.
DeleteSociopaths think they're cute when they misbehave. Just look at some of his pictures; he thinks he's cute.
ReplyDeleteand handsome and charming and like a smart person and...... this sociopath is too stupid to pull it off.
DeleteHhhmmm. Wasn't Robert Mugabe tossed out because his WIFE took over for him?
ReplyDeleteJust another example of Humpty Trumpty doing anything he pleases because he feels he has no constraints under the law.
Some will say she is only "passing messages", but with that... thing, it will expand.
What a bunch of dotard cockroaches, ants and rats. Get them out of there!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHhhmmm. Didn't they throw out Robert Mugabe because his wife was running things?
ReplyDeleteWith that... thing in the WH, her use may become even more than message carrying.
Looks like we end up with eddie munster paul ryan driving the weenie mobile until a new election is complete. Unless he is charged with treason too. He did enable this crime.
ReplyDeleteGreat the russian spy from Slovenia is running the White House, with her “degree in fashion magazines”, I am sure we are in good hands.:) However I don’t remember illegal alien, who can’t speak English being on the ballot.
ReplyDeleteNormally I am not concerned about a person’s ability to speak English, but the republicans always criticize immigrants for not speaking English properly, so the third wife is far game as far as I am concerned.
This is reminiscent of Nancy Regan running the country to “protect” us from finding out the great god Ronnie had Alzheimer’s.
Late night assignments in his private quarters? So that is what he is calling it now? In my day we called it other things ! Does this include pants steaming by Hope, since I assume trump sleep in a suit.
Well little donnie’s escapes are no longer a secret from Kelly since it made the news. So if it continues, Kelly is responsible for not giving the toddle his time out.
My first thought was that Melania has hatched a devious plan--enable Trump's worst instincts until he so seriously incriminates himself that public outcry forces the Republicans to impeach and convict him for treason, he's tried and convicted in federal court and spends the remainder of his golden years incarcerated. And Melania and Barron live happily ever after. I'm allowed to dream, aren't I?
ReplyDeletedream on-like the rest of us.
DeleteShe better have an attorney check out his finances first. He could have appointed a trustee to make sure she never sees a dime.
DeleteI don't think he gives a damn about Baron since he can't discuss business.
I do think Melania has stayed with DJT only because she fears being separated from her son.
DeleteNo doubt the Donald has all sorts of true and also fake dirt on gold-digger, soft-core porn model and possible high priced escort Melania to get her deemed unfit in a custody battle. Not that the orange oaf gives a darn about Barron. He'd take Barron away from Melania out of spite.
When DJT and Melania eventually divorce IMO she won't get much of a settlement, at least not what she expects or enough to live in the manner to which she has become accustomed. At this moment Melania (and her parents) may be on the lookout for a real billionaire sugar daddy.
The most harmful dirt he has on her is her past dubious immigration status,if she lived here illegally,she had to lie on her green card and citizenship documents, which can lead to deportation.
DeleteFrom what I have seen in trumps choice of attorneys, they would have no hesitation to "fix" her application.
who changes his diapers?
ReplyDeleteLewandowski is on The View,blah blah....a lot of words saying nothing but lies.
ReplyDeleteThey ask about molester Moore,he goes on about the crime Franken has committed,how bad Conyers is but let the voters of AL decide.
What a bull shot artist !!
He said trump is not a racist or misogynistic, the audience laughed.
DeleteHe said Moore is ok because he hasn't admitted anything and Franken should go because he admitted to that disgusting photo.
Joy really put him in his place.
