Trump ordered Steve Bannon and Jared Kushner to sit down and stop squabbling at Mar-a-Lago meeting
Politico said on Saturday that the sniping between the two mens respective factions in the White House has reached a breaking point, with the president attempting to impose some discipline on his two must trusted aides.
The sit-down, which was confirmed by two White House officials, was an attempt to smooth over tensions between the two men, which have dominated headlines for days, wrote Alex Isenstadt and Josh Dawsey. Whether the meeting was successful in creating a détente and how long it lasts is an open question, especially in a White House that has been dominated by infighting.
After months of relatively smooth sailing and cooperation between Kushner and Bannon, tensions have erupted in recent weeks as the Trump administration has struggled to find its footing after a series of embarrassing failures including the rollout of its anti-Muslim travel ban and the failure it its healthcare bill to even reach the House floor for a vote.
Politico said, The fight, people in the administration say, centers on policy differences. Bannon, White House chief strategist, is a flame-throwing populist who formerly ran Breitbart News. He has criticized Kushner, Trumps son-in-law and senior adviser, for his more politically moderate approach. Kushner is suspicious of Bannons fiery style and has been concerned about how hes influencing the president.

As long as we know that the republican fat cats are enjoying their luxury gourmet golf weekends squandering our tax dollars, we can be sure they will be well rested when it comes to slashing the meals on wheels, and heat for elder programs, and otherwise making plans to destroy the natural world.
