Is Trump getting ready to spring the trap? [View all]

Charlottesville, Arpaio, and DACA were hammerblows in quick succession. All were red meat to the Deplorables.

September is promising to be a very bad month for Trump. The debt ceiling issue alone looms like an iceberg in the mist. Add a possible government shutdown, the aftermath of Harvey (and possibly Irma), and a no-win situation in North Korea, Trump needs a radical move to survive.

Imagine this: Trump calls Mattis, McMaster, Kelly, and Tillerson into an "emergency" meeting. When they arrive, they find Erik Prince is in attendance along with several of his associates. Trump then relieves them of their duties and they are replaced by people hand-picked by Prince in a temporary emergency capacity. Prince's associates are there to assure there will be no insubordination. Mattis, et al, make brief statements but are not available to answer questions.

Crazy? Sure is. But we live in crazy times.
