Regardless of this report, if you were the Trumps would you accept Secret Service protection or go with you had prior to being POTUS?

“Sinking ship or disloyalty?”

A strong wind is blowing. They have concluded they are on a sinking ship and are opportunistically acting to jump off. The survival instinct is strong with all humans.

If you want loyalty, get a dog. Humans act 100% in what they perceive to be their own self interest.

I would agree with that. I have some concerns about the Deep State infiltrating Secret Service and doing harm to Trump and his family.

When the left wing riots and burns down cities and murders people, thats motly peaceful protesting

When the right wing protests, mediass and libtard socialists smear it as rioting

If it was real rioting the capitol building would be engulfed in flames and falling down

Looks more like the transition moves generally seen........a good way for Melanie to stick the finger up at the press! She has nothing more to say.

In my opinion, Stephanie as chief of staff was a mismatch.
Her face always appeared to be ready for a fight of some kind.
She sort of scowled during each public speech.
I couldn’t figure her out, except, she was filling a temporary vacancy as her employer asked her to do. Nothing more. A gregarious Sean Spicer type, she aint!

She never looked comfortable in that role.
If this is true,that she ‘just quit today’, I suspect it was discussed before.

“Looks more like the transition moves generally seen...”

agree...

Today is/will be a Rorschach test for every headline and published opinion in the near future.
