Trump's Trio of Traps


December 7, 2018 at 7:15 am EST By Taegan Goddard

Jonathan Swan: “President Trump faces three clear and imminent threats as he heads toward his 2020 reelection race — the economy slipping, Congress flipping and a Russia probe drip, drip, dripping. And few inside the White House feel he is yet prepared or staffed for the hell about to hit them.”

“The combination of hazards bearing down on the president are more intense than at any previous point in his presidency.”

“One sign of a new sense of urgency: West Wing officials widely believe that chief of staff John Kelly’s departure is imminent and that Nick Ayers, chief of staff to Vice President Pence, will replace him.”

Kelly knows what's going on. He wants out before the real shit storm begins.

Who knows? Maybe he's smarter than I thought.

Nah. He's just desperate.
