Huh…its almost like Priebus, who has zero government experience at any level, let alone Executive Branch experience, and instead has spent his career being a PR hack, really isn’t very good at the Chief of Staff duties. Who could have guessed?

Every day, the West Wing (the building, not the great TV series) more and more resembles Hitler’s bunker in April 1945.

So at the Press Briefings* everybody assumesknows that lies are coming from the administration, but Politico publishes (nothing BUT)unsourced leaks that are obviously coming from the adminstration and we’re supposed to believe those.

The Blockbuster here is that Trump can read. Wow. Did not see that coming.

In other words, Trump is a person easily deceived and manipulated.

Just like his supporters.

It’s very comforting to know that no one other than his closest staff could ever have the savvy or the access to manipulate him like a remote-control toy.

The Russians must be shaking their heads this morning and saying: “If only we could do that.”

They should call this story “Get Some Clicks Before the Next Bombshell”

Gone from memory by tomorrow.

When you have a child-like, pathetically inept egotistic nut as President it take extraordinary methods to guide him into something resembling sanity. Unfortunately, he is still less than sane.

Alternatively, they are saying, "Ha! The Americans will never be as good at this game as us. Plus we have big head start with Trumpskyvitch.’

Which implies Putin is manipulating a sizable portion of the electorate. Aided and abetted by the GOP.

The Politico story says Trump’s communication team makes a daily binder of stories for him to keep his mood up. This is freakin weird, and scary. Trump’s people are working for a guy who is mentally ill, who needs constant fluffing up, who never takes personal responsibility and who makes vindictive and impulsive decisions. They are propping up someone, who they must know shouldn’t be president. They are also likely taking heaps of abuse from him. Why are they doing this? Perhaps because Ivanka has spent her whole life in this sick and twisted world dominated by her father, she just doesn’t know how dangerous all the enabling is to the rest of the world.

I suspect the fake news stories have orange highlighter on the important parts, saving Trump from actually reading the whole fake news story. The extra verbage is just there to add fake legitimacy.
