This may well be "fake news" and the source (Daily Kos) sure isn't up there on the reliability index. Frankly, though, this may well be the state of affairs. Yellow showers no, this yes.



West Wing leaker goes dark after pulling back the curtain: Trump "irrational", staff "demoralized"

Highlights:

* Trump has no idea how to fix Obamacare. He still doesn't know what a high risk pool is.

* Trump wants to start leaking directly to wikileaks to corner opponents.

* Priebus wants to resign but Ryan so far has talked him out of it.

* There's no idea even how to begin to deal with the difficult terrain issues to build a wall between the US and Mexico.

* He has no interest in or ability to absorb factual background on issues that staff provides.
The Trump administration is going to leak like a sieve.

The people who say the worst things about him - are those who work closely with him. His aides, for one.

I doubt it. He sure didn't seem to grasp the concept that his own employees have insurance through his company vs the ACA. Remember that one?

I completely believe this. Completely. Trump basically elected because of his ability to incite anger at rallies. He has no clue beyond that.

The attention span thing rings true too. Did anyone see him on Air Force One today? He was having a photo op and the jingle from Empire flooring was blaring in the background.

In the office watching TV.

Notice how the unnamed sources information always fits and often uses the same words of the left. What a surprise. NOT !!!!

"White House whistle blower tells how bad it is"

Ridiculous nonsense. I know it sucks to lose, but get a grip.

This seems like a giveaway that it's fake. What serious person working at the White House would think that Trump himself, or his staff, must resolve the technical issues related to constructing a wall? That's obviously a job for engineers and not, I would imagine, a terribly difficult one. Much more complex structures than walls are routinely built in all kinds of terrain, all over the world.

I don't know if it's real but it's funny as h***.

He wants to "corner his opponents" by leaking to Wiki Leaks.

Haha, what a crap show.

I have employer-provided insurance and sure didn't know what high risk pools were - not specifically until the term again came up in news articles about the possible post-ACA insurance environment. Sure Trump isn't a moron and, like me, he certainly can grasp the concept readily enough once he came across it. Or it was explained to him.

But it wouldn't surprise me at ALL that he got up and talked at debates and in rallies about the "beautiful" health care plan he had without beginning to understand the implications of altering the ACA. Or that, overwhelmed by the job, he continues to space out about the details when being briefed about ACA planning.

There are a multitude of policy changes underway - and all promised immediately. Frankly, it would be *normal* for the WH to fall apart under these conditions.
