Maggie Haberman: Peopl in WH are confused --Trump driving the train.

Ok, I had to look up who this McGahn was. Anyway. I do not know what he did to get a tweet from Maggie.

People in White House sound as confused as everyone else about what happens after the president's EO, which McGahn was against him signing. There's inter-agency disagreement about what it means. Trump now essentially tunes his chief of staff out, Trump driving the train.

is desperately needed. Take a good look bc this behavior is indicative of a vast majority of corporate business owners and top shelf employees. Shudders for those in the bottom ranks. Low paid servants who's daily life is attached to the whims of the "owners" saying they work for the "shareholders" Capitalism at any cost....has screwed us.
