Why are the Mercers using their money to viciously attack the Trump family? It's a shortsighted move unless they are now at war with Trump.

I haven't heard it anywhere else. Anyone with background for this claim?

1. The Mercers own Brietbart

[DeminPennswoods]

8. They also own

Bannon, Conway and Cambridge Analytica.

2. They're "nationalists"

who believed degenerate donnie's isolationist talk during the campaign. They also don't like that Jarad (a Jew) seems to edging out pig bannon (they own breitbart) in white house influence.

9. The rumor mill had it this week that Bannon wanted to quit the WH, but Rebeccah/Becca? -

anyway, some Mercer told him NYET, you must slog on!

It's all too cray for moi, oy -

[leftynyc]

10. They didn't realize the trump organization

is very similar in attitude to the mafia. You never take on family. You always lose. I'm sure Ivanka and Jarad have had quite enough of the slovely, vulgar bannon and now that he has served his purpose, they want to kick him to the curb. That's the trump MO.

3. This Just Makes Me Want To Laugh

Enemy of my enemy and all that. The Mercers spent a fortune getting him elected and pushing their agenda.

6. Yawn.

I'm sure they'll have kumbia soon enough and make peace with each other.

4. So Joe is now back on the Trump train.

Isn't that special.

[Dustlawyer]

5. Aren't they the big backers of Ted Cruz that made him

fall in line and make nice with Trump?

[DeminPennswoods]

7. Yes

11. The mercers and bannon are 2 peas in a pod

They go back to Cambridge anayltica- a data mining service, also used in the Russian debacle. It was the mercers that introduced drumpf and bannon. So bannon looses his footing, the mercers have a lot less say. Seems 25 mil in campaign financing the mercers gave drumpf didn't buy them much.

12. this n/t

[SirBrockington]

13. I sure as hell hope so

[dixiegrrrrl]

14. the Trump backers are angry,hostile, mean spirited people.

Makes sense they end up turning on each other, forming cliques, etc.

[herding cats]

15. I'm not sure I trust this to not be a ploy.

This is like the aide saying Tump is planning to fire Bannon and Priebus. I just cannot believe Bannon doesn't have dirt on Trump. I could believe they may have a plan to make Trump look more legitimate and thus distancing him some from the Russian investigation, but I don't at this time, believe they're actually letting go of the presidency they just spent so much to acquire.

16. K&r

[BainsBane]

17. Wow. Seriously?

That doesn't bode well for Donny's future.

[TNLib]

18. I bet's it's over Russia/Syria or Bannon or both

I really can't wait for Bannon to go.
