Mulvaney: 'There was never that much drama' in Trump White House

Source: Politico




By CONNOR O’BRIEN 10/08/2017 12:21 PM EDT

President Donald Trump's White House doesn't have "that much drama," despite reports of infighting between the president and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, according to budget chief Mick Mulvaney.

Mulvaney, director of the White House Office of Management and Budget, instead argued the flow of quality information to Trump has improved and the White House is more orderly under chief of staff John Kelly.

In an interview Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press," Mulvaney was pressed by host Chuck Todd on reports of a falling out between Trump and Tillerson. But Mulvaney pushed back that "the topic never even came up" in his conversations with Trump, Tillerson or Kelly.

"From the inside, there was never that much drama in the first place," Mulvaney said. "What I can tell you has changed is the flow of information to the president, the flow of information from different people, from different sources. It is a much more orderly and aligned West Wing than it was previously."

You would think they would get better at lying since they do it non-stop.

This was hilarious. The best laugh, " instead argued the flow of quality information to Trump has improved and the White House is more orderly under chief of staff John Kelly". Quality information coming back at US daily from the bathroom throne in the wee wee hours of the morning.

court jester, dramatically. He goes on Sunday morning TV to deny drama in the white house. This is a group of pathetic losers.

Mulvaney is a liar who will say anything to help his owners-- GOP billionaire donors.

Our default stance must be to doubt his words because of his reputation for lying.

Politico's headline is bad. It repeats his lie. Journalists: speak the truth! Don't repeat lies.

“Better flow of information” up the chain. But nobody and nothing is going to change tRump. The chaotic, drama going on at the White House will stay that way as long as tRump is there. You can rearrange the deck chairs on the Titanic all you want, but that ship is going down.

The nice thing about a Mulvaney statement is that you can pretty much guarantee
that the opposite of it is a lot closer to the truth.
