USA Today:
It’s official: With less than 100 days to go before the November midterms, the war within the Republican party just got a lot bigger.

The Republican National Committee is diving into President Donald Trump’s battle with Charles Koch, warning GOP donors to stay away from the conservative billionaire.

“Some groups who claim to support conservatives forgo their commitment when they decide their business interests are more important than those of the country or Party,” RNC chair Ronna Romney McDaniel wrote in a Thursday afternoon email to contributors. “This is unacceptable.”

The letter also made a point to underscore that the GOP is the president’s party, in a potential warning shot to other conservatives who might be considering publicly distancing themselves from Trump during the midterms

On Thursday, Trump tweeted: “Charles Koch of Koch Brothers, who claims to be giving away millions of dollars to politicians even though I know very few who have seen this (?), now makes the ridiculous statement that what President Trump is doing is unfair to “foreign workers.” He is correct, AMERICA FIRST!”

During a weekend conference in Colorado, Koch network officials slammed the president and his policies. Officials said the trade tariffs were “protectionism” that hurts American businesses and consumers. Brian Hooks, one of Koch’s top deputies, blasted the White House for causing “divisiveness,” which he said “is causing long-term damage.”

The Koch network has deep pockets and is poised to spend as much as $400 million on politics and policy in this two-year election cycle,

And on a related “meltdown” note…….

Trump to Attorney General Jeff Sessions: Stop Mueller probe ‘right now’

Trump calls on Attorney General Jeff Sessions to end Robert Mueller’s Russia probe immediately, escalating his attacks on the inquiry.

“Attorney General Jeff Sessions should stop this Rigged Witch Hunt right now,” the president tweets. “Bob Mueller is totally conflicted, and his 17 Angry Democrats that are doing his dirty work are a disgrace to USA!”

Trump’s tweet came before the trial of ex-campaign chief Paul Manafort entered its second day in federal court in Virginia. Manafort is being tried by Mueller’s team. [….] – CNBC

So he starts a fight with the Koch brothers but tries to be friends with Putin and Kim Jong. This fool has it all backwards. The Kochs have a lot of power with Repubs plus a lot of them depend on their money. I don’t see how he can win this fight. If Koch pulls their money from anybody in Trumps corner and it helps the Democrats that is a game changer. Trump is not playing with a full deck.

Some readers may recall- in one of my responses last week I noted that Donald is beginning to look and sound like he knows he’s in deep doo-doo. Well now I’d say, indeed his meltdown IS fully underway as the strain appears to be more than that dangerous fool can bear.

Just look at him – lashing out in all directions, like a cornered snake, desperately trying to escape the outcome he knows is coming…and coming soon. Mueller continues to gather evidence and the midterms are just a few months away.

As for the Koch brothers: They deserve Trump and Trump certainly deserves them. They can just tear each other apart.
