Despite the bravado, others who are high-up inside the administration worry that the ham-handed handling of the ban and its rollout are indicative of bigger problems ahead. These sources say:
Big decisions, and edits to crucial documents, are made in the dark of night, with scant input beyond the inner circle. "There are a few guys who keep everything to themselves," said a top official.
The insular inner circle is getting more insular, as it amasses more power.
No force within the West Wing is a sure-fire counterweight to Bannon/Miller.
The inner circle, resentful of leaks, seeks little input from the Cabinet, outside allies or Hill leaders. A leadership aide told us yesterday afternoon: "Congressional leaders had no hand in drafting this and haven't been briefed from the White House on how it works."
Trump is showing no signs of WANTING order: He loves the competing views, internally and externally, allowing him to be the (usually last-minute) decider.
The place oozes paranoia. So every bad move is simply chalked up to media-hate.

(1,480 posts)husband the very same thing. I, as you have, thought this for quite some time. When you see the maniac's reaction at that dinner- rocking back and forth in his seat and his expression-you can sense the venom and sick need for revenge. I think it is the main reason he ran for POTUS, to get back at President Obama. SICK!!!!!

(31,121 posts)WE are real close to world war, nuclear war, which I also predicted a year ago if this idiot was somehow allowed anywhere near power.
I live far from my family, at least the family I give a shit about, not sure what to do, if we should just pack a couple suitcases and go there or what.
