So does drumf pick the Mercer $$ or his family?
Because that's the bottom line. Does he pick pissing them off or his kids? I say he ignores his kids because the other option probably will get all the dirty laundry exposed and him out of office a lot quicker than the intel community can get him out.
I don't Kushner realizes that like it or not, he will forever be backseat to the Mercers and their gang. It was probably wonderful to have their $ and everything else pre-election...now, not so much. Kushner probably thought that they would disappear after the election and he would run the place/drumf himself. I can't see any of drumf's crowd or Preibus, etc going up against the machine that can destroy all of them...

Five people, including a senior administration official and several sources close to the president, tell POLITICO that Steve Bannon, one of Trumps closest advisers, has clashed with the presidents son-in-law, Jared Kushner, whos taken on an increasingly prominent portfolio in the West Wing. Bannon has complained that Kushner and his allies are trying to undermine his populist approach, the sources said.
Republican megadonor Rebekah Mercer, a longtime Bannon confidante who became a prominent Trump supporter during the campaign, urged Bannon not to resign. Rebekah Mercer prevailed upon him to stay, said one person familiar with the situation.
Another person familiar with the situation, a GOP operative who talks to Mercer, said: Bekah tried to convince him that this is a long-term play.
