Yes, he brings it on himself. It's who he is. It keeps him going. He loves it. So yes, it doesn't exist without Trump. It's how he won the election. Why would his time in office be any different.

He's sort of like the people you meet throughout life that always have drama going on in their lives and complain about how much drama they have. But after a few years of their always being drama (or them talking about it) it becomes obvious that they love it.

House Intel Dems Are Accused Of Inaccurate Leaks Of Hope Hicks Testimony

10:55 PM 02/28/2018

Democrats on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence are being accused once again of leaking inaccurate information about the panel’s Russia investigation, this time from testimony given on Tuesday by White House communications director Hope Hicks.

In an interview on CNN on Wednesday, Rep. Tom Rooney, a Florida Republican, accused Democrats of leaking Hicks’ comment in her nine-hour interview that she has told “white lies” on behalf of President Donald Trump.

Hicks’ remarks were first reported by The New York Times. Numerous other outlets picked up the story, touting it as a bombshell.

But Rooney told CNN’s Erin Burnett that Hicks’ comments — as reported by the press — were innocuous. He also asserted that Hicks fell victim to “a trap” set by Democrats. The White House aide tendered her resignation on Wednesday, and it is unknown whether her testimony had anything to do with the decision.

“We’ve interviewed scores of witnesses and now we’ve gotten to the point now where we’re literally bringing people in for nine hours just so the Democrats can leak to the press something as ridiculous as ‘white lies,'” said Rooney, who was in the room when Hicks was being interviewed.

Rooney told Burnett that Hicks was initially asked whether she has ever lied on behalf of Trump. He said he chimed in at that point and asked for more specification on whether she was being asked if she has lied for Trump about the Russia investigation or her testimony.

“To that she said she has not lied with regard to any of those things,” said Rooney, who added that Hicks was not the first person in the room to use the term “white lies.”

“So then the question is, so you are talking about white lies, and she repeated that. It wasn’t exactly in that time frame, but that’s how the term white lies came out,” said Rooney.


“It was a trap, Erin. It was a trap and that is what our investigation has become,” he added.

CNN also reported on Wednesday that Hicks said that the white lies she has told for Trump were about small matters, such as saying that Trump was in a meeting when he actually was not.

Rooney also said that because of the leaks, he asked Texas Rep. Mike Conaway, who is chairing the House panel’s Russia investigation, to end the probe.

hmmm..... GMA completely missed that pretty important information on the testimony....but according to them this morning the WH is in complete and total chaos, raining dogs and cats, just CHAOS!!!
Yeah, the turnover in the administration is normal.
https://www.cnn.com/2018/02/13/politics ... index.html

"Six of the 12 Tier One positions saw turnover (Reince Priebus, chief of staff; Katie Walsh, deputy chief of staff; Sean Spicer, press secretary; George Sifakis, assistant to the president and director of the Office of Public Liaison; Michael Flynn, national security adviser, and KT McFarland, deputy national security adviser). By comparison, Obama lost one adviser from Tier One (Greg Craig, White House counsel), and George W. Bush did not see any turnover in these high-level positions."
not sure how turnover of minor players affects anything, she was basically a secretary...but yea. total chaos....

fyi, Trump is not exactly your normal prez

secondly , what in the hell did the moron dems on the comittee come up with to ask her questions for 9 freaking hours, total b*** shirt
Chief of staff - Gone
Press Secretary - Gone
National Security Adviser - Gone

Nothing to see here.
A reach on the national security advisor. He was there less than three weeks and never really started work.

They asked her questions for 9 hours to try and trap her in something. That's what all of this is about. And lo and behold they got it! She admitted she tells little white lies on Trump's behalf, such as telling people he's not in when actually he is but doesn't want to be disturbed. The horrors!
Another scalp for the democrats and more reason to tout their "White House is in turmoil mantra. I'm sure they feel vindicated.
I thought she was already quitting?

I agree pretty much with that assessment. But it's more than drama, it's being the center of attention -- knowing it, loving it, but not liking it when it brings on negatives.

Sorry to be so disingenuous - 3 weeks doesn't count because that's normal, and you're right, he probably didn't do anything anyway. I'll start a new thread and only include people that lasted more than three weeks? Does Spicer not count either because he lasted (3?) months? Reince because he lasted 6? That's a drop in the bucket on an 8 year presidency.

no unprecedented change is having a sitting prez illegally order the IRS to go after people he does not like (Obummer did that), or having a sitting prez attempt to influence a national election...again Obummer. Personnel changes are a big nothingburger, and you know that
