    Trump regularly interrupts high-level meetings to take phone calls from ‘Morning Joe’: report

    Trash President Donald Trump watches a lot of cable news, and it seems his fixation with what’s on TV is so strong that he’ll interrupt important meetings to chat with top cable news hosts.


    A Politico report
    on Trump’s relationship with the media claims that Trump will regularly “take phone calls from MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough” despite being in the middle of “high-level meetings.”

    “He has told political allies that the news media is his best foil because his supporters don’t trust mainstream outlets,” Politico writes.

    “Yet, he chats with network executives behind the scenes, trying to shape his coverage, and he obsesses over ratings.”

    Trump White House Statement Distorts Wages Figure On Its First Day

    the White House said that eliminating power plant climate rules, a clean water rule and other environmental regulations would “greatly help American workers, increasing wages by more than $30 billion over the next 7 years.”

    The statement, included on the White House’s website to justify Trump’s drive to eliminate environmental rules affecting the energy sector, was a distortion.

    And if it was true, it would represent wage gains equivalent to less than $20 per American every year.

    The figure was based on a paper produced by a Louisiana State University finance professor in 2015 on behalf of a fossil fuel industry nonprofit.

    The paper, which was not peer reviewed, investigated potential economic impacts


    if all protected federal lands were opened to unlimited oil, gas and coal mining.

    Demonstrators flood the streets of Philadelphia to protest Donald Trump at GOP retreat

    Throngs of protesters took to the streets for the third day of massive protests since Trump's inauguration

    Sonald Trump took his first official trip as president aboard a newly rechristened Air Force One Thursday. When the 45th president landed in Philadelphia, he was greeted by throngs of protesters who took to the streets for the third day of massive protests since Trump’s inauguration six days ago.


    Protesters had gathered for a second day of demonstrations against congressional Republicans, who were visiting the city of brotherly love for an annual retreat. Trump arrived in Philadelphia to address Republican lawmakers and broke with a long-held bipartisan tradition by refusing to take any questions from the elected officials of his own party.

    Amid petty battles over crowd sizes and viewership of his inauguration, Trump has taken to setting the controversial agenda he presented on the campaign trail into motion — leaving Republican congressional leaders in the awkward position of dodging questions about torture, rampant voter fraud and who will pay for a wall on the U.S. – Mexico border.


    Partially organized by PA Home Care Workers and SEIU Healthcare Pennsylvania, hundreds of demonstrators protested the GOP’s plan to repeal the Affordable Care Act by holding an activism workshop followed by a march to Thomas Paine Plaza Thursday morning.

    Trump and congressional Republicans share a laugh about murders in Chicago

    After cherry-picking a stat that reinforces his grim view of American cities, Trump turned to Philadelphia specifically. “Here in Philadelphia, the murder rate has been steady — I mean just, terribly increasing,” Trump said.

    That’s false. According to data from the Philadelphia Police Department, the murder rate in Philadelphia has actually steadily decreased over the last decade:

    Trump then turned to Chicago?—?a city he threatened to “send the Feds!” intoearlier this week to combat the “carnage” occurring there.

    “What’s going on in Chicago?” Trump said. “I said the other day, what the is going on?”


    In response to Trump’s question, somebody in the court yelled, “Democrats!”


    The room burst out in laughter. Trump smirked and said, “There’s a lot of truth to that.”

    Steve Bannon: The Media Should ‘Keep Its Mouth Shut and Just Listen For Awhile’

    “The media should be embarrassed and humiliated and keep its mouth shut and just listen for awhile,” Mr. Bannon said during a telephone call.

    “I want you to quote this,” Mr. Bannon added. “The media here is the opposition party. They don’t understand this country. They still do not understand why Donald Trump is the president of the United States.”

    I imagine. She never believed he'd win. She was happy just be in that Tower with all her . Then he comes home with another "toy." She is probably ready to brain him.

    The leaks coming out of the Trump White House cast the president as a clueless child

    Two recent examples:

    1. This from the New York Times today on Trump's impulsiveness:

    Mr. Trump’s advisers say that his frenzied if admittedly impulsive approach appeals to voters because it shows that he is a man of action. Those complaining about his fixation with fictional voter fraud or crowd counts at his inauguration, in their view, are simply seeking ways to undercut his legitimacy.

    Yet some of his own advisers also privately worry about his penchant for picking unnecessary fights and drifting off message.

    They talk about taking away his telephone or canceling his Twitter account, only to be dismissed by a president intent on keeping his own outlets to the world.

    2. This from WaPo on Trump's inauguration crowd estimates:

    Trump’s advisers suggested that he could push back in a simple tweet. Thomas J. Barrack Jr., a Trump confidant and the chairman of the Presidential Inaugural Committee, offered to deliver a statement addressing the crowd size.
    But Trump was adamant, aides said.

    Over the objections of his aides and advisers — who urged him to focus on policy and the broader goals of his presidency — the new president issued a decree: He wanted a fiery public response, and he wanted it to come from his press secretary.

    ===========

    what we know about Trump from his presidential campaign is that

    some of his top staffers — most notably Kellyanne Conway — often communicated to the boss via the media.

    What that strategy suggests is that Trump is influenced at least as much — and, in truth, likely more — by reading the sniping of his aides on background (meaning without their names attached) in the news than he is by private conversations. That

    the best way to reach him, change his mind or otherwise bend his ear is through a public airing of grievances.

    Trump has shown that his tendency to obsessively consume media — especially cable television — is unchanged in the six days since he has become president.

    He appears to be making policy decisions via things he watches or reads.

    (Remember Trump's famous/infamous statement that

    he got his military information and advice “mostly from the shows.”
    )

    Trump is both deeply proud and hugely image-conscious.

    Having to read and watch allegedly loyal “aides” casting him as a sort of feckless child constantly in need of guidance wouldn't seem to be the sort of thing that would sit well with him.

    It doesn't take much imagination to conjure up an image of an irate Trump surrounded by the various clips of his aides driving the perception that he badly needs to be managed at every moment. If Trump's entire #brand is centered on being the best/classiest/smartest, these sort of leaks fundamentally undermine that image.

    And we're only six days into his presidency!

    The frequency — and nature — of these leaks are yet another reminder that the Trump presidency is nothing like anything that's come before it. There is no blueprint. We're through the looking glass.

    But my educated guess is that these leaks must be driving Trump absolutely crazy.

    And when he gets mad, history suggests he will try to get even. And quickly.

    What a ing disaster this asshole is.

    Thanks, "white working class". Trash and Repugs gonna screw all y'all, sooner or later.

    no way to know if the twit account was verified as WH worker, but if it were ... very credible disaster aka Don The Con Trash


    West Wing leaker goes dark after pulling back the curtain: Trump "irrational", staff "demoralized"





    On Wednesday, a twitter account was briefly active before being shut down. The tweeter, @WhiteHouseLeak, is an anonymous mid-level staffer in the West Wing of the White House, who described a chaotic atmosphere, a demoralized staff, and an unfocused and irrational President incapable of processing information.

    The staffer is a Republican who apparently worked on the Trump campaign, but is now thoroughly disillusioned by what has been going on. During his brief presence he was tweeting to real reporters, including Fox News and the New York Daily News.


    It is impossible to know if the leaker shuttered the account himself or was outed. The tweets have all been deleted, but thanks to screencaps by MC Rantz Hoseley (@MysteryCr8tve) and an imgur by vapensiero they were preserved before vanishing. The presentation here is, I believe, in strict chronological order.

    I have omitted a few irrelevancies, but most of the 37 total tweets from the account are shown below.

    Republicans retreat into confusion, disarray as Trump creates new headaches

    House and Senate Republicans began the week expecting specific guidance on what will replace the Affordable Care Act, how quickly taxes might get slashed and how the government will pay for a new border wall and infrastructure plan.

    But on Wednesday, Trump offered up a fresh set of distractions with a flurry of announcements and early-morning tweets. […]

    That left Republicans scrambling with few details and fewer answers at a moment when they had intended to secure the opposite. […]


    The first signs of trouble came at midday Wednesday, when Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.) and Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-Wash.) faced reporters in a hotel ballroom here at the start of a two-day party strategy session.


    They came prepared to talk about health care and the tax code but were barraged with questions about Trump’s latest moves.

    ----

    Never mind the distractions and the disagreements with Trump—the Republican congressional body isn't united:

    Interviews with more than a dozen GOP lawmakers revealed a clash of expectations between rank-and-file lawmakers to get started in disassembling Obamacare and party leaders who are all too aware of the obstacles and difficult choices ahead.

    The rabble rousers want full repeal and nothing else and damn the torpedoes.

    So does the new boss—when he has time to think about it between tweets.

    Carl Bernstein: Republicans are openly discussing Trump's 'emotional maturity, stability'




    Veteran Beltway journalist Carl Bernstein told CNN Wednesday that discussions in Washington this week have been, "unlike anything I have seen in 50 years as a reporter." Adam Withnall writes:

    “I am hearing from Republicans, and other reporters are as well, that there is open discussion by members of the President of the United States’ own party about his emotional maturity, stability,” he said.

    “People are saying that his psyche is driving the news cycle.


    “We are in uncharted territory here and we ought to talk to some of our colleagues about what they are hearing.

    [I think it’s a really fruitful area because] I’ve never heard [people] talking about a president… the way this subtext is now a talking point.”

    Donald Trump's mental (in)stability is absolutely driving the news cycle, just the way it did during the campaign.

    Then it seemed freakish, bizarre, at times amusing (among many other adjectives). Now it's just downright dangerous.

    Every day is another day in, OMG, Can you believe he just did that and he's "leading" our country?

    As Bernstein said of Trump’s twisted 3-5 million fraudulent voters claim:

    “Something very disturbing is going on here.

    I talked about the tweets being an MRI of his psyche.

    These remarks are likewise an MRI of his psyche,

    and it’s not a very pretty place.”

    Trash is imminent roadkill.

    I posted a R Reich's conversation with a Repug friend, where the Repug said, paraphrase

    "Repugs will get Trash to sign all their big stuff ASAP, then impeach and convict him, to get Pence"
