http://ibankcoin.com/zeropointnow/2...dman-globalists-destroying-trump-white-house/ Must read article which sums up state of play very well. Bottom line is that a cabal of NY GS democrats, eg Kushner, Gary Cohn, Dina Powell, are taking over power and moving Trump away from his campaign promises and towards the Bush/establishment agenda. Sad. Instead of draining the swamp, they are just substituting different snakes. Their approach is to drop the hot button issues like immigration and concentrate on business issues like tax breaks.
Seriously, other than Sessions and maybe the EPA head Pruitt, Trumps' cabinet could have easily been appointed by a President Jeb Bush. Nikki Haley is probably the worst. Terrible choice.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry...rity-council_us_58e5a8d1e4b0fe4ce0882c8c?u0k& Jared Kushner Helped Push Steve Bannon Out Of The NSC Reports of tension between the president’s two closest advisers are the latest intrigue to beset the Trump White House. New details emerged Wednesday about the role President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, played in convincing the president to remove top political adviser Steve Bannon from the National Security Council. The move was widely interpreted as a sign of Bannon’s diminishing influence in the Trump White House following a series of botched executive orders and the failure of health care reform. But Kushner was a driving force behind Bannon’s demotion, according to Politico, which cited anonymous sources. From the beginning, Bannon’s take-no-prisoners style of populism and his openly stated desire to “deconstruct the administrative state” have clashed with Kushner’s more technocratic approach to government. Kushner reportedly told colleagues recently that Bannon’s nationalist agenda was hurting Trump. He was also concerned that the former executive chairman of the far-right Breitbart News brought out some of Trump’s worst qualities. The president has struggled to gain traction in his first 10 weeks in office and has become bogged down by palace intrigue, multiple investigations into his campaign’s contacts with Russia and major policy failures. “Big fight is between nationalists and the ‘West Wing Democrats,’” a senior administration official told Politico. In addition to running afoul of Kushner, Bannon has also clashed with White House economic adviser Gary Cohn, a former president of Goldman Sachs who is close to Kushner. Vice President Mike Pence also operates in a separate orbit from Bannon. When Bannon’s plan to deliver an ultimatum last month to House conservatives over the GOP health care bill backfired, Pence was dispatched to Capitol Hill to try to repair the damage. For his part, Bannon is still showing no signs that he’s willing to be sidelined within the West Wing. On the contrary, the former media executive threatened to quit earlier this week if he was removed from his seat on the NSC, according to multiple reports. As the waters churn just below the surface, Bannon’s allies in the White House have been putting on a public show of support and offering excuses to justify his removal from the NSC. This includes telling reporters that Bannon never intended to stay on the NSC for more than a few months and that he was appointed to the principals committee only to keep an eye on retired Lt. Gen. Mike Flynn, the national security adviser who resigned last month. “Susan Rice operationalized the N.S.C. during the last administration,” Bannon said in a statement Wednesday, referring to President Barack Obama’s national security adviser. “I was put on the N.S.C. with General Flynn to ensure that it was de-operationalized. General McMaster has returned the N.S.C. to its proper function.” Bannon did not explain what he meant when he said Rice “operationalized” the NSC, so it’s difficult to tell what Bannon might have done to “de-operationalize” the council. Following Flynn’s resignation, Trump named Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster to replace him as national security adviser. McMaster quickly set about purging the NSC of many of the people Flynn had brought in with him, people who were more closely allied with Bannon than they were with Kushner. A visit this weekend by Chinese President Xi Jinping will likely offer Bannon and Kushner another opportunity to push their competing agendas. Bannon’s populism is largely responsible for Trump’s protectionist trade rhetoric and for the president’s campaign rally stories about how the U.S. was being manipulated by China’s trade policies. Kushner, on the other hand, has been serving as the chief liaison between the White House and the Chinese delegation. He is also expected to take part in the major talks this weekend at Trump’s Palm Beach, Florida, resort, Mar-a-Lago.
Report: Bannon Refers to Jared Kushner as ‘Cuck’ and ‘Globalist’ Dr. Fly Thu Apr 6, 2017 6:05pm EST 20 Comments 1127 According to the Daily Beast, the war brewing between Trump’s life long democratic son in law, Jared Kushner, and Steve Bannon, has reached a fevered pitch. Before I get into the story, let me address the democratic status of Kushner. He’s contributed over $100k to democratic politicians, giving Hillary Clinton money in 2000 and again in 2003. He’s been a donor to Senators Chuck Schumer and Robert Menendez. Also, he gave money to Reps Booker and Pascrell. He did, however, give $1,000 to Rudy Guiliani, back in 1999. Earlier this week, Roger Stone reported that Kushner was leaking damaging info about Bannon to MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough. The very next day, Bannon was pushed out of the NSC. Now we’re hearing rumors that Bannon refers to Kushner as a ‘cuck’ and ‘globalist.’ That’s hard to argue, especially since Kushner looks like one and has supported candidates who were vying for amnesty for nearly two decades. Cuck Bannon likened Kushner to a ‘fifth column’, saying he was trying to ‘shiv him and push him out the door’, according to the Daily Beast. “There’s a big fight [going on],” one senior official said. “It’s all about policy. There’s tension [between them] on trade, health care, immigration, taxes, [terrorism]—you name it.” The White House and Bannon did not respond to emails seeking comment. With regards to healthcare, Kushner invited Zeke Emanuel, brother of Rahm Emanuel (Obama’s Chief of Staff) and main architect of Obamacare, to consult the Trump White House on how to proceed with Trumpcare, according to a senior Trump aide. “Steve thinks Jared is worse than a Democrat, basically,” another official close to Bannon said. “[Steve] has a very specific vision for what he believes, and what he shares [ideologically] with Trump. And he has for a long time now seen [Jared] as a major obstacle to achieving that.” Bannon was removed from his post on the National Security Council on Wednesday. One senior Trump administration official told The Daily Beast on Wednesday morning that Bannon was “only on [NSC] to babysit [Michael] Flynn” because Trump “was losing faith” in Flynn, and that Bannon “never went to meetings.” Immediately following the inauguration, democrats took to Twitter with the #PresidentBannon meme, hoping to trigger the vainglorious President into firing Bannon. It appears, as unbelievable as it may seem, such attempts have worked. ...more http://ibankcoin.com/flyblog/2017/04/06/report-bannon-refers-jared-kushner-cuck-globalist/
What the f..k??? Is Trump insane? Trump mulls replacing Priebus as chief of staff http://www.marketwatch.com/story/tr...rsuch-confirmation-expected-friday-2017-04-07
What might be happening is Trump is looking at Kelly Anne Conways latest numbers and realizes he launched 59 Tomohawks for 59 neo-con hawks in the White House, and Priebus is seen as the first of 59 who have been giving him Presidency-ending advice, so is first on a list of 59 to be fired. But I don't know anything because I'm not in any of the sacred national security meetings where gods know all. And I don't give a damn either.
