Trump Has Reportedly Found Loopholes to Get Around John Kellys Protocols

Trump has been reportedly exploiting “loopholes” in the White House protocols implemented by Chief of Staff John Kelly.

A new report from The Wall Street Journal reveals exactly what supposed loopholes Trump has been using:

The president on occasion has called White House aides to the private residence in the evening, where he makes assignments and asks them not tell Mr. Kelly about the plans, according to several people familiar with the matter. At least once, aides have declined to carry out the requested task so as not to run afoul of Mr. Kelly, one of these people said.

The president, who values counsel from an informal group of confidants outside the White House, also sometimes bypasses the normal scheduling for phone calls that give other White House staff, including Mr. Kelly, some control and influence over who the president talks to and when.

Supposedly he's still talking to The Gin Blossom Special AKA Steve Bannon.
