It says a lot that Trump is longing for the return of a wife-beater.
Trump Still Talks To Rob Porter, Hopes He’ll Return To White House
Obviously his NDA, and Loyalty oath must still be valid.
Of course he does…
Birds of a feather…
Every single day news items leak out of this WH to confirm, again and again, that yes - Trump really is that big of a dumb@ss.
Trump just doesn’t get it. Porter who couldn’t get a security clearance because he assaulted his two wives and a girlfriend (?) and Trump wants him back. This says a lot about how little Trump thinks of national security protocols.
Maybe Trump should declare that the WH is a sanctuary city for wife abusers?
Home for Little Wallopers?.
Those wife beaters gotta stick together…
Good Gawd…Why doesn’t tRump just put out a sign on the White House lawn,
“Help Wanted. Inquire Within. Wife-beaters Welcome.”
Consider the source of this story:
Maggie Haberman.
Thus, the story says “Trump wants Porter back” while simultaneously says “Trump knows he can’t hire Porter back”.
This is her new shtick since she lost access to Hope Hicks. Say both things so she can claim access no matter what happens.
I have never seen or heard of anyone in real life so irresistibly compelled to act out his worst, most sickening impulses. And don’t talk to me about he misses the structure. That’s not what this is about. He hates women. That couldn’t be much clearer. And he’s not that fond of men. Never seen anything like it. Serial murderers hide it better.
And the Evangelicals still love him??
To Think, if there was just a little rumor started about clinton or obama doing the same exact thing, the gop would burn down Washington over it.
I guess republicans are just so special. Like little moon people.
I dunno, couldn’t both things be true? PP wants Porter back despite his ability to be blackmailed and his inability to pass a background check, yet knows Porter is too toxic to return to the WH. It speaks to PP’s disregard of national security and how little he actually cares about the alleged abuse. He only accepts the political reality, but isn’t put off by the repugnant behavior that created that reality.
Anyone who thinks he doesn’t share sensitive information with Porter or mini-Voldemort (Kushner) or wife 4/daughter 1, despite their lack of security clearance is smoking something (or a Republican).
I’m sure they laugh over jokes like, “Are you still beating your ex-wives?”
Oh bless his heart! OF COURSE, Donnie wants him back! He never saw anything wrong with a little battery to keep your women in line.
I see this in a different light - he knows, on some level, that he is guilty. But he knows on a much bigger, more classy level that Trump is not and indeed cannot be guilty. Guilt, fundamentally, is bad, and Trump is good. Somewhere in the lizard brain, anybody else who has been taken down by the “fake news” or the “deep state” or however he’s conceptualizing a democracy this morning is also being persecuted and treated unfairly and on some level he feels a kinship there. I’m sure he wants Flynn back, too.
I obviously agree that his behavior towards and views of women are deeply fucked. But I don’t think that’s what the Porter thing is about.
Is Rob Porter still dating Hope Hicks? If so, that is the reason Trump wants him back, to be close to Hope.
