Trump's Inner Circle Shakeup

[knapplc]

Long rumored, it's starting. First to get the "you're fired" treatment, Michael Dubke, White House Communications Director.

So.. is it normal to have turnover like this in the first 5 months of a presidency?

I find this interesting.

 

If he were fired, I would think it would be immediate. I wouldn't thin you would want a disgruntled employee in this position.

This guy drew the longest straw - best thing ever to get out of that admin before it circles the drain. He'll be viewed like Comey - wonder if he's got a NDA?

That article is worth reading.

 

“How do you all like Nikki? ” he asked, as she looked on. “Otherwise, she can easily be replaced.”

 

…But the president soon ordered up a change, said someone who witnessed the moment, telling Bannon to give up his seat for the junior staff member and relegating his top strategist to the couch.

 

…

Trump also reminded the crowd — and Pence — that he could have just as easily picked someone else. “Oh, I had a couple of beauties I could have picked,” he said. “They were good, too, but maybe they wouldn’t have worked out like Mike.”

France:

“I don’t believe in diplomacy by public abuse,” [Macron] said.

Paywalls suck. I sucked it up and got a WaPo subscription this year. ASK is probably the worst. Saw on Buzzfeed the other day that for years you could sign in with a "media/media" username/password. They changed it now

 

Trump tries to humiliate everyone into submission. He's the kind of guy you have to just punch in the nose to get to back off. I like the way Mscron handled him. Didn't give him an inch.

From a sports perspective, if I was playing him I'd hit him hard and take the foul for it, a flagrant one. You know he would not react well to that. Personally I think he'd be scared to death, but also I think you could count on irrational responses that would have him less likely to do well on the court.

I would tend to agree. I think we saw some of this in debates. Clinton, as robotic and cold as she can be as a public speaker, did a good time at getting under his skin at points and getting him flustered.

 

If you do that, it's over. He totally derails.
