Ever wonder who the real power in the Trump camp is?

[Girard442]

Seems like everyone we know about (including the Drumpster himself) has the maturity of a six-year-old overdue for a nap, with the possible exception of Reince Priebus, who's looks to be moving up from his position at the DMV.

If Putin isn't the one who actually calls the shots on a day-to-day basis -- who is?

[cyclonefence]

1. Ivanka

Duh.

She's hot and well-spoken. Duh.

And that's Rancid Penis to you, bub.

[Girard442]

3. Could be.

No word yet from beyond from Gregor Mendel on how the soon-to-be-First-Punkinhead could have sired someone with an actual brain.

4. Barring a genetic anomaly

half of her DNA is from Ivana, who might be smart, I don't know.

13. One of her main decisions

was to marry Donald of Orange and have 3 kids with him. Not a good start.

17. "Donald of Orange"

major reps

2. Rober Mercer

5. On miltiary policy and some foreign policy

Flynn. God help us all.

6. Pence is making most decisions

So far his teabagger philosophy is the most common thread. Also being an asskisser helps.

[Jacob Boehme]

8. And I keep hoping there's a chance Pence will become the new Larry Craig

... all the exposure that would bring would tie him up in knots for years.

10. I recall reading an article where he admitted he had homosexual attractions

Said conversion therapy saved his marriage.
Found the article: http://www.snopes.com/mike-pence-conversion-therapy/

12. Snopes says this is fake

15. no, pence would be critical of russia

7. Jared Kushner

This almost delusional faith in his family members, particularly his children, and reliance on them in business and now politics, has become a trademark of Trump's. His children make up his closest circle, and they are the only ones who appear to be able to provide him with any kind of check and balance.
This makes Ivanka and Jared perfectly positioned to influence the incoming President in ways even his closest advisers Kellyanne Conway, Steve Bannon or Reince Priebus could never manage.

9. Still, after all this time, no one in the GOP is calling the shots.

If someone were, we wouldn't have Trump in the first place. His win was a fluke, not anything close to a strategy-based placement.

11. Steve Bannon.

He is the man pulling his puppet strings.

[sarah FAILIN]

14. I agree

And who pulls his strings? Mercer.

[JI7]

16. depends on the issue

For things they don't really care about they might hand over to pence.

But on foreign policy i think people like flynn bannon and anyone else with ties to putin control things.
