According to one source familiar with the events, Mnuchin was in the middle of arguing for a longer-term deal in the meeting when the President abruptly cut him off and sided with the Democrats.

A senior Republican source described Trump as being in "Apprentice" mode, a reference to the reality show that made the President a TV star. Trump just decided to listen and then make a decision on the spot, the source told CNN.

McConnell and Ryan were "blindsided by this," a Republican official told CNN. In fact, hours before Trump agreed to Democrats' proposal, Ryan had publicly called such a plan "ridiculous" during a news conference. The GOP leaders had no heads up or warning that Trump's decision would happen, Republican officials told CNN. Another senior GOP source described the two leaders as "shell-shocked."

what is the relationship with Scout? Will that board be absorbed? Eventually, yes. The two networks are combining. Some things from Scout will be used (such as the front page) and some of 247. The timing of our contract change and the merger didn't line up ideally.

Some of those "ruffled feathers" is sincere, but I only sent about 50 emails to people I knew how to contact. That is less than 1.5 percent of the members. We just wanted some level of preparedness or NO ONE would have known what happened, leading to even more confusion. Much of the "ruffled feathers" is orchestrated as part of Rivals' gameplan, as is allowing people to say "Fitz was fired," which is a blatant lie.

I guess people are saying that Fitz was fired.

If not deporting children is a mess, I don't know what deporting them is.

So what happens to the membership fee I paid when you were with Rivals? Sadly, you paid Yahoo. Not us. I'm sorry you lost some money. I promise you will have a better experience here.

Ironically, this network doesn't consider customers' credit cards something to hold hostage. You can actually leave if you want to, but why would you want to?

Even as he prepared to leave for Springfield, Missouri, to make his opening pitch to the public on tax reform, Trump grumbled privately about Cohn, making clear he was still annoyed with his top economic adviser's criticism of his Charlottesville response.

Just a few hours later, as he launched into his tax reform pitch, Trump offered thanks to several key advisers on the matter -- including his Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, Cohn's partner in the effort -- but didn't mention Cohn.

"Anybody I forgot?" Trump had said.

Trump tweeted Wednesday morning that he had seen this horror and devastation “first hand.”
...
A reporter asked White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders about this later Wednesday, and her answer was … something:

He met with a number of state and local officials who are eating, sleeping, breathing the Harvey disaster. He talked extensively with the governor, who certainly is right in the midst of every bit of this, as well as the mayors from several of the local towns that were hit hardest. And detailed briefing information throughout the day yesterday talking to a lot of the people on the ground. That certainly is a firsthand account.

No, it's not. That's a *second*hand account — the very definition of one, in fact.

Fitz and D Scott have been supremely entertaining over the years, but not so much for their writing.

I think the issue is with the individual who is wearing the fur cape. Like, everything would be fine if someone else was wearing it.

I thought the National Enquirer was super pro Trump. I suppose it could both be super pro Trump and also non-partisan.
