Team Trump civil war
The infighting has already started – and it’s fierce.
The top people on Trump’s team in the White House are already involved in turf battles with each other, days into the new administration.
That’s according to a new report from the Washington Post, who spoke to several insiders privy to the machinations behind the scene of an operation desperately trying to portray itself as a well-oiled political machine.
According to the paper, Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner (he is married to Ivanka Trump) has been working to “elbow aside anyone he perceives as a possible threat to his role as Trump’s chief consigliere.”
He even reportedly tried to block aide Kellyanne Conway from getting a job in the White House.
Better watch out, Jared – Kellyanne reportedly has a fierce right hook. ‘Nuff said.
Lots more at WaPo.

You will know it is really bad when Pence, Cruz and other dominionist start getting together for meetings. Impeachment talk will start with them when they see the tRump administration crumbling.

It just goes to show that Nature tries to keep things in balance.

That is exactly what the drama queen rump wants, he doesn’t want to have a productive work place with a team goal in place. He wants to walk in to the office and see fisticuffs going on or the tangerine covered with cellulite will not be happy.

And, remember, there is an unresolved civil war in the GOP. There was a ceasefire for the election year but the part Republicans still hate the Tea Partiers.
