This was a no brainer .
S. Bannon and G. Cohn despised each other. Trump liked them both but had no option but to choose sides.
The loss of Bannon will cause a bit of a rift in his base, but the loss of Cohn would have caused a market crash and put trump`s plans for tax reform and infrastructure building on life support.

..fully agree...Trump avait davantage besoin du soutien de Gary Cohn que de celui de Bannnon......pour sa crédibilité auprès de la communauté d'affaires....D'ailleurs Cohn est resté en place pce qu'il savait pertinemment que les jours de Bannon étaient compté. De plus il n'est pas dit que Bannon ne gardera pas contact avec Trump et pourrait exercer encore plus son influence à l'extérieur de la White House....
I read Senator Flake's letter and I thought it was greatly self-serving. Most Americans don't blame Trump for Congress' inability to function. Congress couldn't function long before Trump got to Washington. Blame Harry Reid, Blame Mitch McConnell and Chuck Schumer. Have at it. Both sides will say you kicked sand first. Kind of silly to blame Trump I say.
Flake is between a rock and a hard place. He's unpopular with Republicans. He barely won election to the Senate in an increasingly purple state. He believes distancing himself from Trump is the smart play. So be it Jeff. You can say issues are more complicated than Trump makes them out to be, but the Republican Congress has had seven years to come up with an alternative to Obamacare as well as comprehensive tax reform. What have you come up with ladies and gents?
For all Flake's self-righteous bluster there's much to disagree with here especially the idea that proper conservatism requires support for free trade. Many unaffiliated global economists are calling out perpetual trade imbalances as hindering growth and exacerbating income inequality. Senator Flake how do you think you get past the filibuster when the two parties won't work with each other?
We all know Trump is a very complicated, easily irritated, insecure, arrogant non-politician. He is vigilantly supported by his base and hated by his opponents exactly because Trump is whatever you want him to be whether evil or good. The liberal-dominated press paints Trump as a Conservative ideologue. He's the authoritarian who can't get anyone in Washington to do anything he wants including their fuckin' jobs. Trump's not an ideologue except for issues like trade and immigration. He would sign any healthcare and tax reform bill the Republicans pass. Trump doesn't even care if he needs to get some Democrats to vote for it, but again the parties won't work with each other. He hardly passes a Conservative litmus test, but his supporters saw he could run the electoral map against uninspiring candidates.
Trump is not Obama. He is not the candidate to comfort a country having an identity crisis. Trump voters don't want him to be our nation's therapist. He's doing exactly what he was elected to do. Appoint Supreme Court Justices, unwind excessive regulation including onerous aspects of Obamacare, tighten the borders, throw out unfair trade deals and reinvigorate the military. And when the time comes, sign bills passed by the Republican-dominated Congress. It's really not that complicated to understand Senator Flake.
It's really very simple. Trump was an iconoclastic (and imperfect) candidate exactly when all the other candidates were parroting the same tired rhetoric from both parties that has caused the U.S. to stagnate. Americans don't always have the answers, but when things aren't going well we know we want to go in a completely, different direction. Trade and immigration! Trump pounded. Trade and immigration! Where were Rubio, Kasich, Cruz, etc. on these issues or Clinton for that matter? Their corporatist donors didn't want to hear any of this. Their consultants too tepid. Money wins elections they told their candidates not what's popular. Populism isn't a dirty word Senator Flake. Populism is the energy that forces large, lumbering and possibly corrupted bureaucracies to move in a democracy. Populism has made major positive contributions to American politics and life.
Back to trade and immigration. It might also be that simple for the Dems to win in 2020. You can probably get the Democrats to embrace the trade issue, but you can't save them from their insanity on open border immigration policies. Temper the identity politics, temper the group victimization rhetoric and the Dems win! but that shit sells in the Democratic primary.
I read this morning that our favorite press secretary Sean Spicer still hasn't left the White House. No one is sure what he's doing, but one thing is sure is that he's still working there. White House sources have said that he spends a large part of his time negotiating with various tv networks in order to work as a spokesman on their political shows. But like many people who have worked in the Trump White House, he's considered to be toxic and has had trouble finding work.
Reince Priebus is another individual who hasn't yet officially left the White House. He's currently on an extended vacation and he'll likely remain with the White House in some capacity until the end of August. Again, no one is quite sure what his tasks are or even if he has any. He's also been dubbed as being toxic and potential employers have been staying away from him.
In other news, chief White House economic advisor Gary Cohn went public and criticized Trump for how he handled the whole Charlottesville episode. He mentioned that he considered resigning and many of his close friends encouraged him to do so. But he chose to remain in his current job instead. People around the White House wouldn't be surprised if Trump will either fire him or keep him around and go out of his way to make life miserable for him like he's done for decades in the Trump organization. In reality, Trump despises firing people and prefers keeping them around and make their lives miserable in order to embarrass them into quitting.
A democrat, Cohn is closely allied to fellow democrats & advisors Jared Kushner & Ivanka Trump. He is a former COO of Goldman Sachs and considered to be very wealthy. Once he leaves the White House, he will not have any difficulty finding employment in the financial sector, where he has always excelled in the past. He is considered a key asset to the White House and has close ties to Steve Mnuchin, the Secretary of the Treasury and a fellow democrat. Mnuchin is one of the country's wealthiest men as an investment banker, hedge fund manager and movie producer. I noticed recently his name appearing in many blockbuster movies i've watched in the past.
By the way, Neo Nazi and racist Sebastian Gorka was fired yesterday by the White House. He was a foreign policy advisor and everyone new his days were numbered once fellow racist Steve Bannon was gone. Gorka appeared yesterday on some right-wing media networks and denied having been fired, telling them he had resigned. But the White House denied those claims and stated he was fired.

Doc, I don't like vicious labels, but I'm open-minded. What has Gorka done or said that makes him a neo-Nazi and a racist?
The liberal American press has attempted to label and de-legitimize anyone who is hawkish on radical Islam, refugee resettlement and illegal immigration as a racist. Whether I agree vehemently with them or not, they are valid points of opinion. I'm disappointed that our country has become so polarized that we even have to have debates about "illegal" immigration and tightening the Mexican border.
I’m your huckleberry.

It's widely known that Sebastian Gorka has publicly supported and been a member of several anti-Semitic and racist groups in Hungary. It has also widely been reported that he is a sworn member of a group known as Vitézi Rend. Gorka even wore a Vitézi Rend medal to Trump’s inaugural ball and his ties to the group reportedly stretch back decades. Vitézi Rend was under the control of Germany's Nazi government during WWII according to the US State Department.
Anyone is free to do their own research of this creep if they want to do so. But since General John Kelly finally kicked his ass out of the White House i don't feel a need to talk about Gorka anymore. Good riddance!

What a babe!! I wish there'd be more press conferences with her for our viewing pleasure. What a hottie!!

Of course, Hungary also had a conflicted role in WWII, but not everyone was a sworn Nazi even if their ancestors cooperated for survival. Historically because of its geographic proximity and as a matter of cultural survival, Hungary has worked with Germany and the former Austrian empires for centuries. The history of Eastern and Central Europe is clouded with changing alliances with smaller countries fighting to keep their independence and relevancy sandwiched between Germany and Russia and formerly the Austrian and Ottoman empires.
Like many countries, Hungarians are proud of their martial history and bravery. They are a small, country with a completely unique language and culture surrounded and outnumbered by Germanic and Slavic peoples. Over the centuries, they might have had an outsized view of themselves, but they were successful in projecting Hungarian influence far beyond its size and military capabilities.
Gorka said he wore his father's medal to honor him. He claimed his father fought totalarianism including the Soviet Union. If you ask me, I wouldn't celebrate Hungarian patriotism of any form no matter how honorable at the President of The United States' Inaugural. My guess is he's just another megalomaniac drawn to Washington.

We can only hope (pun alert) Hope Hicks the Interim Communications Director decides to get in front of the camera. She's a brunette stunner. Allegedly, she likes to be behind the scenes in the Trump inner circle. So much so, many do not know much about her.
I agree. She was fucking Corey Lewandowski last year during the presidential campaign. One of them broke up with the other and after several spats it led to Lewandowski being replaced by Paul Manafort as the campaign chairman. Trump loves her. Many people have implied that he's banging her, but personally i doubt it. I'm sure he'd love to, though.
Unfortunately, i doubt we'll ever see her in front of the camera. She's very low profile and camera-shy.
Donnie's diet, lack of exercise and age are sub-optimal for sex. In my experience, guys who brag about their masculinaty are hiding insecurity. I knew one who bragged constantly (even at business meetings to strangers who obviously had no interest in his sex life) and called himself "the priapist". However, his former gf told me that she dumped him for extreme limpness.
Trump's marriage has been on the rocks for nearly a year and they were about to announce their divorce until he wound up surprisingly stealing the election. Word is that they came to an agreement that she'd remain the 'loyal' first lady for as long as he'd be President.
I heard that Melania has a boyfriend in NYC and that Donald is fully aware of it and knows who he is. He had no choice but to accept it if he wanted her to stay for the sake of appearances.
You guys should try and get a syndicated talk show going, you could be up there with The View and make Whoopie Goldberg look for a new job. You have more gossip about Trump than CNN.
