Popular vote loser Donald Trump has been busy stocking his cabinet with swamp rats to aid in his new kleptocracy, but has been too distracted to get to the job of filling the west wing staff. That, or there's been too much infighting among the troops to determine just who's going to be the most horrible. And spoiler alert: thug Corey Lewandowski is in the middle of it all.
One of Trump’s earliest and most loyal staffers—former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski—is not expected to be included in the first wave of prime White House jobs, and the fate of another top campaign aide, David Bossie, also is unclear. Meanwhile, a dark-horse candidate with limited government experience—Fox News host Kimberly Guilfoyle—is making a late push in the race for press secretary. [...]
[Trump son-in-law and fellow grifter Jared] Kushner on Monday met with Lewandowski in New York to discuss possible posts, according to two sources familiar with the meeting. They said that Lewandowski will be presented with a range of options in the coming days—both in the White House and elsewhere in the administration. But they say that the job he coveted—senior adviser to the president—is not expected to be among them.
That’s at least partly because people around Trump have warned that Lewandowski’s penchant for bitter infighting and allegations of aggressive behavior—combined with his contentious relationships with Trump’s family and close confidants—could come back to haunt Trump’s White House as they did during his campaign.
Trump really, really wants Lewandowski. Nobody else does, so they’re trying “to find something for him, but it needs to be someplace where he can’t do too much damage,” according to a Republican operative and transition advisor. He says the “overall sense was that Corey is just not the governing type.” Gee. What tipped them off?
So Breitbart and Fox News will still be running the GOP—and the country. Only from now on it will be out in public. Again, what could possibly go wrong?
