45th may not like Bibi's relatively poor showing in the Israeli elections?

What I’m concerned about, NorthWest, is Stephen Miller being nominated for DHS’ top role. He is already shadow running it, I suppose, but this could be his opportunity to step out of the shadows. (Ugh.) Given the sort of person he is, this would be ugly.

I’ll let this particular lie stand for itself. (One lie? Two lies?)

President Trump: "President Obama had child separation. Take a look. The press knows it, you know it, we all know it. I’m the one that stopped it." (link: hill.cm/0V6P5Gr) hill.cm/0V6P5G

CLARITY:

The cages existed under Obama.

Obama's border policy was reprehensible.

Kidnapping children is a NEW Miller/Trump/Pence policy.

Trump's border policy is criminal and evil.

Miller has always been a malevolent shadow - much more dangerous than Bannon ever was.

Looks like Netanyahu will also be the shit still floating at the top.

And meanwhile Brett wants to come to Brit.

'The stretch also has revealed that a president who has routinely blamed spiking immigration numbers on others — past presidents, congressional Democrats, Mexican authorities, federal judges, human smugglers — is now coming to the realization that the problems are closer to home. Though his aides have taken the fall, and it is unlikely that Trump will blame himself, the president is facing an existential political crisis ahead of his 2020 reelection bid over the prospect of failure on his top domestic priority.'

Miller certainly looks malevolent
vampiric even, as does kushner
But given that Trump throws everyone under the bus, doesn't reward loyalty, why would anyone who is truly competent and intelligent want to work with him, they will just be undermined and reputationally ruined surely?

They place a great deal of store in $$$ and the power of a pardon.

It's always been on the cards, ever since Flynn.

Trump surely now has a string of enemies, those who have been loyal to him only to be dumped by tweet and childishly insulted ('dumbo' Shock)
a queue of people way more intelligent than he is salivating at the thought of him getting his just deserts, he must realise this, mustn't he?

Different political landscape for him.Smile
