It’s been over a year now and with every bombshell, political observers ask if the latest will be the end for the Trump. And it never has been and never will be one event that will push his presidency over the cliff. Instead, we see a slow drip of bad news that indicates Trump is dying a death of a thousand political paper cuts.
Just this week, we saw Trump fire his Secretary of State, which is basically the number #3 position in the administration behind the president and vice president. And he did it with a tweet. Today we learned that Trump has effectively fired national security advisor McMaster. The only reason McMaster remains in the position is that they are trying to find a new place to put him so he is not completely embarrassed.
Next we hear rumors that chief of staff Kelly is headed out the door. Reports are mixed. Some say he’s going to resign today, some say he and Trump “worked it out,” some say he is going to be on his way out in the next weeks. Who knows.
Rumors of firings have reached a fever pitch.
We also learned this week that Vanessa Trump, the wife of Don Jr., has filed for divorce. But instead of hiring a divorce lawyer, she instead decided to hire a criminal defense attorney to represent her in the divorce. Perhaps she knows a lot about crimes that took place within the Trump Organization? The fact that Mueller is now subpoenaing documents from Trump’s company shows that people like Vanessa are getting really concerned.
As for Vanessa, she seems to be cut from the same cloth as the Trumps:
Trump filed for divorce from Don Jr. on Thursday, providing a statement to Page Six. It’s assumed that the couple have a prenuptial agreement since Trump filed for an uncontested proceeding, meaning there will be no back-and-forth over the custody of their five children and assets.
Page Six spoke to Nancy Chemtob, an attorney unassociated with the Trumps’ divorce proceedings, who speculated that Vanessa Trump timed the filing so it could come before the Robert Mueller investigation potentially put her husband’s assets in danger. Planned out like a true ill thug.
