Aug 27, 2017 Donald Trump is being undermined by White House insiders who would rather have worked for Hillary Clinton, according to former deputy assistant to the president Sebastian Gorka.
Gorka, who disputed reports he was asked to leave his role and insisted he resigned shortly after the departure of Steve Bannon, slammed West Wing insiders in an interview with Radio 4 on Sunday.
Hopefully everybody who followed the campaign of Donald J Trump understood that he won against immense odds. Our victory was an insurgency that took over the behemoth that is the swamp that is the Washington administrative state. It was a hostile takeover. Right now the forces that are un-Trumpian are in ascendance. I put that in my letter to the president, but that will change, Gorka told presenter Paddy OConnell.
Theres no conspiracy theory here and theres no central leader. They are individuals who if you look at their career they clearly would have been very comfortable working for Hillary Clinton in her cabinet and as such they dont really represent the victory of November 8, he added.

The only reason Trump ever "succeeded" or didn't end up in prison is because he was born rich and continues to be almost preternaturally lucky.
And literally everybody knows it. It's just his supporters won't say it out loud and they don't care as long as he stickin' it to them damn liberals and the Mexicans, and The Blacks, too, except for the Good Ones like Ben Carson.

Everyone, with good intentions, wants to believe him or believe he'll stop lying when he's caught doing it. He won't. Ever

They don't sense the fact that, for most people, tRump is anathema.

(9,090 posts)a few hundred assholes on 1500 unchallenged radio stations have been explaining to 50 mil a week since the inauguration that obama/clinton/soros deep state with their paid protestors and moles have been working to undermine trump.
the left and dems are so fucking stupid about talk radio we have to keep playing catch up and blaming symptoms of that 30 year old spectacularly successful fascist PSYOPS.
without that ignorance of talk radio bernie/wellstone would be mainstream instead of the exception and bush palin trump would never have gotten close to the white house.
and the damage trump does, his ability to hang on, and the ability of the r-cons to scrape through this without a total decimation they deserve will depend largely on the left/dems continuing the biggest political mistake in history.
