Melania fight still on. I wonder if Bolton has chased anyone down the hall.

If I had to guess what the issue is I would say Bolton and his aide were trying to control Melania and her influence and thoughts and it has not gone well. Why else would you try to control the seating plan on an airplane unless it was about controlling who sits beside who, who influences POTUS. That would be my complete guess. Melania might just have lines she will not let Trump cross on foreign policy, or they suspect it. 'It' being that Melania might be a feeling human being. Edit to add: and they leaked Melania's hotel bill from Egypt? Okay they are definitely trying to lower Melania's self esteem, or that of her team, so they can control her or those around her. Typical of palace intrigue types: protectors only of themselves, their place and the spun 'realities' of those they deem should have power (true right wing believers), imposing said 'realities' on everyone with a sledge hammer (following the 'reality' with such intense passion that they are delusional), kiss up and kick down, annihilate those not your friends (no live and let live) especially if the relationship winds up or ends, smart with details (hired for their understanding of complexity), no capacity for the big picture which requires periods of time of ego-lessness (and the GOP are counting on that), impose impose impose the order of her 'boses' to maintain/improve her position within, etc.. IMHO

1. Maybe Melanie will flee Capt PeePee

2. Not buying this seats on a plane stuff

This is about leaking the cost of her hotel stay in Cairo. They don't want to rehash that story and it must be true

[hlthe2b]

4. Yes... I'm betting Melania is blaming NSC staff for leaking the details of her grifting.

[applegrove]

7. But why are they leaking? Why do they want to take her out and make her

lose popularity. Why do they feel the need to clip her wings?

[GusBob]

12. They are all fighting

Kelly and his side vs the Trumps

It's like Shakespeare, or a reality TV show

3. The blurb I read earlier seemed to suggest Melania wanted to take over NSC resources

for her trip while refusing to seat Ricardel and a staffer or two of hers. Reading between the lines, it sounds as though Melania was trying to use NSC resources for the trip which might have been legally justifiable only if NSC personnel were included. I could be wrong, but this is what I'm guessing. And, of course self-entitled Melania, like Trump, believe they are above having to follow the rules, so this sort of fits.

5. If the worst lady has taught me anything

it's to just not care.

Hey Mel, I really don't give a fuck that your feelings were hurt. None of us do. Go to hell, Mel. And here is a parting gift...

9. "Worst Lady"

That is classic

[tanyev]

6. Melania has very strong feelings about a window seat.

10. Hey! That's one of the posters that Rump has tacked on the ceiling above his bed!

Private jets, guns, and loose women! Just what every good rethug dreams about!

8. It was only a matter of time with this woman....come on folks,

she wore that shit jacket to visit hurricane victims, she's done absolutely nothing as a "first lady", she's married to a vulgarian....you just can't be around people like Donald Trump and not catch their disease or already have it.

[Arkansas Granny]

11. Actually, she wore the I don't give a fuck jacket when she visited a child detention center in Texas

She has shown her true colors.

[applegrove]

14. She said later she was talking about the press or something when she wore that jacket.

It was stupid to wear it to see caged kids. More than a tin ear. She should have stood down a boycotted her husband completely on that.

[Arkansas Granny]

15. She was making a statement, all right. Very inappropriate choice,

considering her destination. I don't believe the excuse they gave. It was a tacky move made by a tacky person.

[Generic Brad]

13. The staff is no longer afraid of the Trumps

It's on, baby. They know the Trumps are circling the drain and are now openly defying them. This heralds the beginning of the end. I stand by my prediction - Trump will be gone by the end of March 2019.
