Trump’s Enemies Hiding In The White House?
- a new book claims Trump is under attack from the inside.
A new book by a couple of Trump flunkies suggests that a number of Trump’s enemies are hiding in plain sight inside The White House, Congress, the Justice Department, and multiple intelligence agencies and are actively working to obstruct his agenda and delegitimize his presidency.
Current Events
Former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski and GOP activist and former deputy campaign manager David Bossie are authors of the book “Trump’s Enemies: How the Deep State Is Undermining the Presidency,” which was released on Tuesday. They portray Trump as an innocent victim to a disloyal staff and “swamp creatures” hell-bent on extinguishing his political movement.
“Trump’s Enemies…” depicts a dark conspiracy being conducted inside Washington and identifies by name a number of Trump appointees who the authors claim have formed a “resistance” inside the government.
The authors say these officials “attack the administration with a thousand cuts. They do this in complete disregard to the millions of Americans who voted for Donald Trump. They do it only for their own ends. There are far too many people in the deep reaches of the federal government who harbor as deep a hatred of Trump as does anyone from the Clinton/Obama cabal. The thing is, they get away with it when no one is looking.”
Lewandowski and Bossie used the pages of their book to settle scores with a number of Trump insiders and called out several by name for what they consider to be disloyalty. For example, the authors blatantly referred to Trump’s former personal attorney Michael Cohen and former campaign chairman Paul Manafort as a “rat” for their cooperation in the Mueller investigation
The authors then took aim at former press secretary Sean Spicer and former deputy chief of staff Joe Hagin by referring to them as “the November Ninth Club,” claiming the establishment Republicans only supported Trump the day after he was elected and when they began angling for government jobs.
Lewandowski and Bossie also berated former National Economic Council director Gary Cohn as a “limousine liberal” and “the poster boy for the disloyal staff conspiring against President Trump.” They also accused former staff secretary Rob Porter of working to thwart Trump’s agenda and style to make him more traditionally “presidential.”
The book also did not spare the feelings of James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Lisa Page, Peter Strzok and Sally Yates, James Clapper Jr., and John Brennan, who were each accused of wanting to “nullify the election and bring down the president” by detailing Russia’s interference.
Although Lewandowski and Bossie consider themselves “outside protectors” of Trump, several White House aides are said to be suspicious of their motives. In fact, Chief of Staff John Kelly has routinely restricted their access to the West Wing out of fear that they could be a negative influence on Trump.
During an interview for the 288 page “Trump’s Enemies” book, Donald Trump spent much of the in-person meeting with the authors complaining about the news media.
When Bossie asked him who or what is his biggest enemy, Trump replied: “The greatest enemy of this country is Fake News. I really mean it.” He then went on to add: “I think that one of the most important things that I’ve done, especially for the public, is explain that a lot of the news is indeed fake.”
“Trump’s Enemies,” is published by Center Street and is a sequel to the campaign memoir “Let Trump Be Trump,” also written by Lewandowski and Bossie.
A veritable bunch of shameless grifters versus grafters, from top to bottom beginning with king grifter himself, Trump whom one writer described as “an archetypal grifter.” Whereas: A Grifter, is somebody who can influence anybody, anywhere, at anytime, into doing whatever they choose to have them do, that will result in the grifter’s personal gain. Usually monetary, but really anything that benefits him or her somehow. […] – Urban Dictionary The grafter, by contrast, is a run-of-the-mill abuser of the public trust. He needs no audience and prefers not having one. Where the grifter is shameless, the grafter shrinks from exposure, which could only endanger the racket. He is greedy, but not creatively ambitious. He toils in mundane self-dealing, insider trading, bribe taking, witness tampering, and other forms of workaday corruption. Spiro Agnew was a grafter.
