So wait a minute. This fool tried to make us believe everything is alright at the White House but we are supposed to ignore how everybody is quitting on him? If this was any other corporation in America and twenty or thirty people quit in a year everybody would recognize there is a big problem somewhere. But people keep making up excuses for Trump and he makes up excuses for himself. I think they call it propaganda in North Korea when Kim over there tries to force news that everything is great when it isn’t.

I’ve said it before and I’ll keep right on saying it….those 62 million Americans who voted for Trump did so primarily because they identify with him on EVERY level….except money.

“Michael Wolff’s explosive book on Trump: key revelations”

In a passage that perhaps points to Trump’s underrated understanding of his unique political appeal, Wolff quotes an unnamed “foreign model” asking him: “What is this ‘white trash’?”

“They’re people just like me,” says Trump, “only they’re poor.” – The Guardian

Trump continued on, explaining his well-documented leadership style of pitting his deputies against one another by saying “I like conflict, I like having two people with different points of view… and then I make a decision.”

The statement comes after a week of high drama at the White House. Over the weekend, top economic adviser Gary Cohn was reportedly furious at Trump for announcing new steel tariffs, and last week former Communications Director Hope Hicks resigned in the wake of testimony given to Congressional investigators looking into Russian election interference along with the fallout of the Rob Porter domestic abuse scandal.

Trump has also ruffled feathers by continuing to publicly condemn his attorney general Jeff Sessions, who has been a target of Trump’s since his decision to recuse himself from matters involving the Russia investigation.

Earlier in the day, Trump attempted to deflect the perception of chaos in a tweet where he explicitly said there was no chaos. He seemed to do more harm than good, though, by also writing that there are “some people that I want to change[.]”

The new Fake News narrative is that there is CHAOS in the White House. Wrong! People will always come & go, and I want strong dialogue before making a final decision. I still have some people that I want to change (always seeking perfection). There is no Chaos, only great Energy!

Update: Shortly after the press conference, Trump’s top economic adviser Gary Cohn resigned.

Rachelle Maddow has a running tab of pretty much everyone who has left and that list is 3X – if not 4X – longer…smh! Pathetic. As a nation I honestly don’t know if WE’ll ever truly recover from this clusterfick of a presidency!?!

Re; Gary Cohn FINALLY leaving

In general, I consider anyone willing to work for Trump (a monumentally CORRUPT and socio-pathologically mucked up charlatan) to be a corrupt and mucked up charlatan as well. Gary Cohn is no exception.

Setting aside ALL of the reprehensible things Trump said and did during the primaries AND the general campaign (INCLUDING promising to start a trade war) Gary managed to accept all manner of even more reprehensible BS from Trump throughout this entire FAKE presidency -INCLUDING Trump’s embrace of white supremacist neo-fascists who proudly chant “JEWS WILL NOT REPLACE US!” Note: Gary Cohn is of the Jewish faith and heritage.

Oh but now…now this issue of imposing “tariffs” is a bridge too far for Gary! Say What?!!!

Gary Cohn is a former Goldman Sachs guy. He’s also a self-serving, pompous-azz hypocrite. Good riddance to pure rubbish.
