Is this just real life? Is this just fantasy? ScaraMooch, keep your hands away from me. Trump continued

Seeing is believing when it comes to reining in Trump.

Remember 'president' Bannon? (Not that anyone in their right mind wanted him in the job, but the accepted wisdom for a time was that he was playing Trump like a fiddle.)

The Rasputin-like figure that the Kush was made out to be for a while?

The same being said about a whole range of figures, including one now publicly humiliated Jefferson Beauregard Sessions?

My hypothesis is that you're good in your role as Trump's pupeteer-in-chief exactly as long as you don't annoy his majesty and no newer, more exciting guy comes along to steal your spot in the sun.

Just for Little Tony

45 appears to have sidelined Mattis and Pence when he feels like it.

Wow! Does this mean the ear worm can go?

Trump on thin ice with Putin?

Well this is awkward!

Mind you, Bannon has not been visible lately. Has kept his head when all around him were losing theirs. Yet, once insulted, the culprit has gone.
Its possible he may simply be at his desk doing nothing but cleaning the wax out of his ears with the lid of a Biro. In fact that may be his masterstroke of strategy, let everyone else burn out and be last man standing.

I agree. I don't think Bannon has been sidelined. Or at least I don't think he's lost any real power.

Bannon [...] may simply be at his desk doing nothing but cleaning the wax out of his ears with the lid of a Biro.

Not with his skill set he isn't!

Just seen the Mooch has gone. Wow that was quick!!

Who, or what is left.

I wonder if Kelly and Mattis speak? (Recently, that is.)

C'est magnifique. Mais ce n'est pas le gouvernment.

Just catching Maitlis on Newsnight (catch up). It's great stuff, though - she's flagging up how unconventional the Mooch is. Talking about "grown ups" in the WH working behind the scenes to strategy and the need to "shut down the circus", "kill the clowns".

Perhaps it is 'la guerre' though?

Mon Dieu.

Poor Amy Siskind's list must be up to about 70 bullet points already & it's only Monday...

Trump just tweeted - A great day at the White House.

Lordy. So he did.

What on earth must Scarammucci be thinking now?

As Kyle Griffin said on Twitter - That's next level trolling.

... whereas 'great' is the new 'crap'?

Utter and complete separation from reality. QED.

Lordy indeed.

Oh for God's sake! How delusional is the guy? I suppose he managed to get through the medal ceremony without an off-piste rant so, yeah, maybe it was a great day.
