Trump becoming sour and dark as he turns against son-in-law Jared Kushner

[tenorly]

According to a New York Times report by Maggie Haberman and Glenn Thrush, President Donald Trump has not only been overheard complaining about having to fire his disgraced national security adviser Michael Flynn, but has also begun directing his mood swings at his son-in-law-turned-adviser Jared Kushner.

“His own mood, according to two advisers who spoke on the condition of anonymity, has become sour and dark,” the report claims, “turning against most of his aides — even his son-in-law, Jared Kushner — and describing them in a fury as ‘incompetent,’ according to one of those advisers.”

Along with sources decrying the president’s temperament, the report also suggests that some aides believe Trump doesn’t understand his intel well enough to have leaked anything serious to the two Russian officials he met with in the Oval Office last week.

“In private, three administration officials conceded that they could not publicly articulate their most compelling — and honest — defense of the president: that Mr. Trump, a hasty and indifferent reader of printed briefing materials, simply did not possess the interest or knowledge of the granular details of intelligence gathering to leak specific sources and methods of intelligence gathering that would do harm to United States allies,” the report claimed.

1. Because for a dumbass, his ass is too dumb to leak?

I can see why they wouldn't want to argue that where he can see it.

Still doesn't mean he didn't pick up enough just to satisfy himself that he's "working hard" to blow something important.

2. 'Trump doesnt understand his intel well enough to have leaked anything serious

to the two Russian officials he met with in the Oval Office last week.

“In private, three administration officials conceded that they could not publicly articulate their most compelling — and honest — defense of the president: that Mr. Trump, a hasty and indifferent reader of printed briefing materials, simply did not possess the interest or knowledge of the granular details of intelligence gathering.'

8. Then he's so incompetent that in itself is 25th Amendment territory. n/t

[elleng]

9. I agree.

What takes more 'guts,' 25th or Impeachment???

[Egnever]

19. Problem with that statement is

it doesn't matter if he understands it he can still repeat it.

[forgotmylogin]

35. Just because a police officer is allowed to fire a gun

does not in any way imply they are absolved of responsibility if they misuse it and cause harm, even "accidentally".

[Hekate]

3. Awwww. Family twubbles?

Please proceed, grifters.

[madaboutharry]

4. So he is too stupid to understand the intel.

How is that helpful? The take away is that the President of The United States is a moron. Does that make anyone feel better? I don't think so.

5. I just want to post/point out the picture of Jared

[tenorly]

10. ''Sniff! I's gonna end up jus like mah daddy!''

Don´t drop the soap, Jared.

[Tatiana]

17. Looks like a wax figure.

Is he even human?

What is it with these people and the plastic surgery?

[Comrade Donald]

28. He also is never been interviewed so no one knows how he sounds like. Weird.

[dalton99a]

33. Here's how he sounds like:

36. Introducing, the Residences at the lofts at Sodosopa

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

34. Dammit!! Why would you want me to punch my monitor?! nt

[underpants]

37. Spooky huh?

What a blank emotionless stare

[Eugene]

6. Another take: Trump didn't care enough about sources and methods to keep his mouth shut.

He shared what he had with a country smart enough to figure out where it came from.

As they say, "Loose lips..."

[northoftheborder]

7. Trump may work himself into having a stroke.

11. It's Hitler in the bunker. n/t

[tenorly]

13. That would explain Cheeto's cozying up to the president of Argentina

A fellow alt-righter, btw (but a little more suave about it).

[ecstatic]

12. Wow! Trump "did not possess the interest or knowledge of the granular details of intelligence"

Is that supposed to be a good thing? Who is the true president then? Since Trump is too stupid to read and absorb information?!

WHO?! We deserve to know!!! And WHY do they think this is OK!? If he can't do the job, he should step down!

[tenorly]

14. It's the Reagan defense

The ''he´s so senile he couldn't possibly know crimes were being committed'' excuse.

Might have worked before, but Cheeto: you're no Ronnie.

[ecstatic]

15. lol. Unbelievable! nt

[Motownman78]

16. I hope people have learned

that next time just hire a damn professional.

[malaise]

18. The real proof of the depth of his lunacy

is that he thinks he's competent

[mercuryblues]

20. clueless

“turning against most of his aides — even his son-in-law, Jared Kushner — and describing them in a fury as ‘incompetent,’ according to one of those advisers.”

Really? Who would have predicted that putting inexperienced, incompetent buffoons in charge would lead to chaos?

[yortsed snacilbuper]

21. trump better be careful.

[smirkymonkey]

31. Wow, creepy, but he really does remind me of an adult Damien.

There is something inhuman about that guy. I can't put my finger on it.

[Cha]

22. These 3 "anonymous" sources are NOT fooling

anyone.

Just because trump is too dumb to know what he's leaking doesn't mean shite. Is ignorance the excuse he's going to use on the stand?

[Ilsa]

23. kick & rec. nt

[Presidentcokedupfratboy]

24. Trump Went to Jared

And all he got was a fake diamond. Karma

[crazycatlady]

25. As someone who works in politics

(Disclaimer-- I'm on the campaign side not the government side).

One of the first rules of thumb (ethics aside) is never to use family members (by birth or marriage) as your staff. At the end of the day (win or lose) they're still your family and you want to keep your relationships in tact. This is a tactic of separating politics from your personal life.

Jared's role will probably damage Trumpty Dumpty's relationship with his precious Ivanka.

[Dorian Gray]

38. Like how the (alleged) rape and abuse of her own mother

did not ruin Trump's relationship with Ivanka?

Oh, wait... it didn't.

She's soulless too.

[Warren DeMontague]

26. Come on, OJ, find the real killer

[Leghorn21]

27. The sourer and darker the better, by damn - it surely works for moi! n/t

[bucolic_frolic]

29. Sarah Palin is a genius in comparison

Where's Rudy? He's been silent.

[lunasun]

30. Maybe the family will go more Borgia and solve that problem that is trump for us

[kysrsoze]

32. Bwaaa-haaa-haaa! They're all incompetent or against him!

He's losing it and I'm loving it!
