House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has issued a stark warning for White House staffers, telling them the president would throw them overboard.
The Democrat struck out at Donald Trump in an interview with CNN, in which she suggested people working for the president would eventually find themselves out of favor, amid rumors Trump is considering a staff reshuffle.
If you want to get a job at the White House, know your blood type because youre going to get thrown overboard at some point, Pelosi said, speaking during the show New Day on Tuesday. She added that if staff attitudes toward the president were to change, it will be interesting to see how he reacts to their reaction to him.
Trumps dissatisfaction with a number of his staffers has been well publicized, and reports have said he is considering a restructuring that could affect everyone from Chief of Staff Reince Priebus and embattled White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer to Chief Strategist Steve Bannon.
Hes frustrated, and angry at everyone, an anonymous source told Mike Allen of Axios, which reported on the potential reshuffle on May 14. The advice hes getting is to go bigthat he has nothing to lose. The question now is how big and how bold. Im not sure he knows the answer to that yet.

Hopefully a few of those he throws under the bus will decide to become whistleblowers to Mueller to help clean out the WH traitors.

''Let me tell you my biggest strength that nobody knows,'' Mr. Trump said. ''My biggest strength is that I get the best people for the job. People want to work for me. Trump does well with management.''
Others are not so sure. Mr. Trump is praised by some as an imaginative but conservative real estate developer and a wily negotiator who, as one longtime associate said, ''never lets you know the facts.'' But his skill as the chief executive of a day-to-day business, now employing about 15,000 people, is a question mark.
Since he took a more direct hand in his casino operations late last year, he has fired a number of senior managers. Others have walked out in disgust. ''I simply didn't want to work for Donald Trump any longer,'' said Jack O'Donnell, the former president of the Trump Plaza and a well-regarded gaming industry executive who quit last month. Mr. Trump has lashed out publicly at his own top aides in press interviews and on television, balked at complying with severance agreements and appointed executives to positions for which they seem to have little relevant experience. The result has been a level of friction that has become the talk of the industry - and that has made it increasingly hard for him to recruit managers.
''People who work there are terrified,'' one regulator said. ''People are hiding under their desks.''

(129,096 posts)(after AC first legalized gambling) and renamed it "Trump Castle" (and later Trump Marina), it was because Hilton was denied a NJ casino license due to their involvement with the mob, so he snatched it up. And anyone in the casino business in AC must have mob blessing.
Hell, AC has been a mob town for over a century!

And I hate to say this, but his sons have been running the business for the last 10 plus years or else he would be bankrupted again. The children have learned enough good business from their mom.

(129,096 posts)the bad habit of accumulating massive amounts of debt from purchasing properties used to launder and leverage, in order to eventually buy more properties down the road (and live off the difference). It's only a matter of time before the whole thing collapses. That's why the embrace of Russia (and I expect also the embrace of Saudi).
IMHO, if Drumpf hadn't run and won the Presidency, they would have lived happily ever after evading the Schneidermans of the world while obfuscating all their illegalities in a blizzard of lawsuits. But instead, the spotlights and microscopes have been trained on all of them, which is something they never expected.

This is all about the collusion. It's about being guilty. It's about getting caught.
Trump is unraveling, folks.
