UPDATED: Sebastian Gorka, a controversial adviser to President Trump, exited the White House on Friday. The Federalist ran an alleged resignation letter from Gorka late Friday afternoon. Later, however, a White House official said, “Sebastian Gorka did not resign, but I can confirm he no longer works at the White House.” Gorka, who has been linked to far-right groups in Hungary, blasted the Trump administration’s new Afghanistan policy in the letter reported by the Federalist. Gorka is focused on counterterrorism policy, and objected that references to “radical Islamic terror” were removed from the president’s Afghanistan address. “[G]iven recent events, it is clear to me that forces that do not support the MAGA promise are – for now – ascendant within the White House,” Gorka wrote, according to the Federalist. “As a result, the best and most effective way I can support you, Mr. President, is from outside the People’s House.” Gorka was a close ally of Steve Bannon, Trump’s strategist who was forced to resign last week. “Regrettably, outside of yourself, the individuals who most embodied and represented the policies that will ‘Make America Great Again,’ have been internally countered, systematically removed, or undermined in recent months,” Gorka wrote. “This was made patently obvious as I read the text of your speech on Afghanistan this week.” Gorka also objected that the Afghanistan policy — which marks an escalation of the 16-year-old conflict — lacked strategic focus. Poster Comment: Is there anyone left in the White House who's pro American, and not a globalist progressive?

Seems the swamp is draining Trump. Certainly, the Trump voting public is getting a clear view of just how powerful the deep state is, when someone like Trump who was put in to office of president on a strong populist, America-first platform is being systematically drowned. Even as president, it seems good things simply cannot happen. Not that Trump was ideal in all respects, but still... But Trump has always been and still is smart. It's not out of the question that in a year or two, Trump will wake up one morning and realize just how much he's innundated with the deep state and how wrong he has been in conforming to it, say to hell with it, and start causing huge amount of mayhem and making things right. But first he has to realize what all of us here already know.
BIG fucking deal. All he will do [is] a "tweet."
Yep. It's become obvious he didn't really want the job, wasn't serious about what he said while campaigning and isn't taking the position seriously now that he has it. Too bad we don't know anything, really, about how or what Pence will do once Trump quits.

Oh, he wanted the job alright, and he wanted it for the right reasons. No, he didn't want it for his own benefit, but that is what all the other candidates wanted it for, especially Hillary, and that is, of course, the WRONG reason for wanting the job. On that score, Trump is good. Trump wanted the job because he loves the USA, and wanted to do what he believes is right and good for the country. While we all disagree what that right and good should be, that is nonetheless why Trump ran. He absolutely is a patriot, by definition. Where Trump fell short, and continues to fall short, is his faith in the system. He IS a patriot at heart and he does want what's best for the USA. He remains oblivious to the power of the deep state & swamp, even as he gets mired deeper and deeper in it. What I hope will happen is what I said, that as he gets more experience, he will eventually wise up to what is going on and seeing the light of day, start a wholesale slaughter of his deep state staff that don't share the values of the populous that put him in office. That may not happen till the last 1.5 years of his first term. One thing that appalls me though is the very consistent claims about Trump being a racist. There are plenty of people who hate Trump. And the reason they hate him is because he has been an arrogant and hugely successful businessman. He's also the "alpha male" who privately regards women, at least beautiful women, in the stereotypically form of "objects" to be conquered. I can respect the opinions of people who despise him for those reasons. What I cannot respect, however, are those multitudes, including in my own extended family, that hate him and claim it's for fake reasons like how he's a racist or a white supremacist, because he isn't one. If one hates Trump, fine. But hate him for honest reasons.
