President Trump and his advisers, seeking to contain the escalating Russia crisis that threatens to consume his presidency, are considering a retooling of his senior staff and the creation of a “war room” within the White House, according to several aides and outside Trump allies.

The President has hired a team of lawyers for the Russian stuff as well as another team to go through his tweets and filter them!!!! :lamo
Other changes that could occur at the WH as Trump returns is a major staff change that could see Sean Spicer out the door with Sarah Huckabee Sanders as replacement. Also due to make a comeback is "tough guy," Corey Lewandowski. It's also looking likely that Jared Kushner (the sole reason for this whole mess at this point) might take a leave of absence, or at least get a more limited role in the White House of which he is in charge of many almost impossible projects.

It sounds like a learning curve. I would have thought that quite natural considering his inexperience in political administration.
 
The problem begins with Trump. The problem ends with Trump. You can rearrange the deck chairs all you want but the Titanic still is sinking.

Tough Little Baby Hands needs a Babysitter. :lamo

He's leaving a Great Legacy, Jimmy Carter must be dancing in the streets.
 
when there is a problem the problem comes form the root; the root is Trump himself. Trump has no experience at governing; none, nadda, zilch, ZERO.

The only experience Trump has is getting his way & being a complete asshat. HOW could any person with that resume perform on the most elementary level as POTUS?

Besides completely lacking in experience Trump does NOT have the mentality to govern as part of a team; he only has the ability to destroy = "you're fired."

Folks can keep shuffling Trump's hired help all they want but the fact remains Trump is the problem, not his staff ........

Trump shows no interest in learning, only wants his presumptions confirmed and when they're not he gets annoyed. As others have pointed out, we have a baby intellectually and emotionally for our President and world leader.

To me it seems he has already learned a little. The problem is how much he needs to learn.

Yes, but this Titanic will remain afloat for 4 and perhaps even 8 more years. So moving about the deck chairs makes a good deal of sense.

Sure, if by some miracle he doesn't get ousted on Obstruction of Justice charges, he'll definitely need a better crew than the ****show he has going right now. But ultimately, a lot of the problems stem from his own ineptitude so that's really not going to solve the underlying cause.

I like this part.

The retooling is solely an effort to defend themselves against the russia investigation. And the trump sheep will still act like "Nothing to see here!!!11!!!"

I don't disagree with that. Most of Trumps problems are of his own making. So if he can bring people in that will limit some of the stupid things he says, that will help keep the Titanic afloat.

I think with regards to that, his biggest problem is he won't listen to them.

Trump can retool his room of selfish assholes, and the room will still be staffed with selfish assholes.

Leopards and Moron Trumps don't change their spots.
 
We've long since passed the point where Trump is the problem. The problem is the people who could control, disavow or remove him, and choose not to.

Just as you have to admit that the alcoholic is not the problem, it's the people who are going out to the store and buying him alcohol.

Trump is his own worst enemy.

The party of enablers?

President of the United States isn't an entry-level position. His incompetence shouldn't surprise anyone.
What's really impressive about all this is his willingless, even eagerness, to lie to anyone and his shameless, juvenile posturing.

Trumps biggest problem is himself. By now, most everyone realizes that a better informed, much wiser, and more presidential Trump is not going to happen.
 
It funny how these storys keep getting released and people on here fall for them. When will you guys wake up, the media is just using you to sell papers and advertisments. Non of it is ever true.
There is new thread every few days, "this just in Trump is going to fire so an so" then nothing happens. hmmmmm

Ah, the conspiracy smoke screen. Oh, THIS happened while the Left was obsessing over this tin hattery. Obama's NHS admited to multiple violations of FISA court minimaztion standards after a 300 % increase in upstream searches after Obama changed the rules back in 2011.

And we were told the unmasking was legal ? Noop. American citizens were illegaly unmasked by the NHS and these violations were substantially under reported to the FISA courts resulting in a FISA censure of Obama intel agencies.
Barack Obama's team secretly disclosed years of illegal NSA searches spying on Americans | Circa News - Learn. Think. Do.

The ACLU said these violations are some of the worst ever documented. What would be the motive for the NHS to illegally unmask numerous American citizens ?

I mean here we have a actual scandal, a unprecdented over reach by the a Federal agency that ADMITTED to violating these minimation standards

Make your own thread about it then, that has nothing to do with the staff changes in the Trump administration. How desperate can you people get?

Maybe it is even more impressive, that we knew all of this, when we gave him the job a few months ago and complain about him.
