You can't make this stuff up.

As Trump said, "I only hire the very best people, believe me !"

Well now we know which side Steve Bannon is on and it's not The Mooch's. I cannot believe the White House has become Game of Thrones.

WoW!!! It reads like an Onion article. I still thought it was fake but now it is on the news channels (as much as they dare say). Was the Mooch plastered or something? Who would talk like this to a reporter knowing they are getting every word?

That visual of Bannon applying suction to his member was pretty sickening. I guess Mooch doesn't care for Bannon either.

Which is exactly the kind of stuff that is his job to make sure doesn't make it to the press.

He's supposed to keep everyone talking about policy so the President can push his agenda through congress. Instead we are talking about the dysfunctional White House staff. Again.

These people are idiots.

Having a favorite member of the press you use to strategically leak specifically chosen inside info is pretty normal for politics. Key words "strategically leak". Not "go on record directly throwing bombs everywhere, making an existing problem worse". Arseholes.

This feels like the White House is falling apart. When these kinds of statements are being made public, how do they pass each other in the hall? How do they have staff meetings without screaming at each other? Trump loves to create competition and controversy among his staff, at what point are there open fist fights in the Rose Garden?

The funniest part? The Mooch is the White House Communications Director! And this is what he is communicating!

Jeebus. This dude is a whackjob for sure. Hey, he'll fit right into the Trump WH though.

So Trump, Ivanka and Jared bring this slime ball in to push out Spicer and go against Priebus and even Bannon? And the showstopper is trying to push out Sessions. This is why nepotism is a bad thing. Ivanka and Jared are not American nation firsters or even conservatives. THEY are the moles in the Whitehouse. And it's also bad that Trump is disloyal, ungrateful, uses people and lacks honesty.

I tried again and this time was able to read the whole article. It was awesome.

This sure is entertaining. Once Trump's out of office, we're all going to be bored. Although by then the books and movies will be getting released rapidly.

But it will never be as exciting as it is right now because it's all unfolding before our very eyes. There's no telling what's going to happen tomorrow or next week. Trump's presidency is the biggest trainwreck of any US President in history.

It's been said numerous times that Trump's kids are behind Trump turning on Sessions because they are having to hire lawyers and testify on the Mueller investigation. It was said earlier this week that Priebus and Bannon had talked Trump out of firing Sessions. But the more the investigations go on, the more it appears the kids and Trump were talking to Russians. Trump's kids seem to be on a mission to get rid of all of them so they can end the Mueller investigation. Nepotism has taken a very very ugly turn.
