Interesting. Reince Priebus represented the GOPs hope that they could control the loose canon Trump a bit, but quite obviously the early days of his presidency have suggested that Bannon is the dominant voice in the West Wing. But this statement seems more like wishful thinking than anything else.

Trump's not cut out for leadership in general,

 

He's been president for around 2 weeks, you people get too excited by parroting the moral outrage/ opinions of others/ of the left of center press.  

 

The media attacks have begun and in an intense way; it is only going to escalate from now on.

It's not really about media attacks, the stuff with the Mexican president and the PM of Australia are pretty unprecedented.

 

Bearing in mind what an inauspicious start Trump has made to his presidency in those two weeks, I don't know if you could consider the reaction to be entirely overblown. He may yet confound some of our expectations, but as things stand, it's pretty hard to say there’s nothing at all to be concerned about.

Arnold throwing shade back at Donnie's comment at the prayer breakfast. This was what Donnie said:

“We had tremendous success on The Apprentice, and when I ran for president, I had to leave the show. That’s when I knew for sure I was doing it. And they hired a big, big movie star, Arnold Schwarzenegger, to take my place, and we know how that turned out. The ratings went right down the tubes, it’s been a total disaster, and Mark will never, ever bet against Trump again.”

 

 

Arnold's Response:

 

And he wasn't done. His rep released this statement:

Arnold is praying that President Trump can start improving his own approval ratings, which were the worst in history for an incoming president, by taking his job seriously and working inclusively.

 

So they surely need Egypt to be a member of a coalition against Iran. They would probably be glad to have Turkey too, but that ship has gone. (for now?)

Iran is the enemy of Israel and the Saudis, that's why.

Sanni,

My husband and I say that a lot. He's a big bully. I've said that even before he started to run for office.

Interesting piece. Of course, the power structure described in it is precisely what Trump and especially Bannon want to destroy, so it won't matter much.

First round of (frankly, partisan) media attacks.  A glance at a newstand and it's all anti-Trump covers LOL:
