and mid-term elections give the democrats a chance to take the house and impeach him. president trump needs the discipline that mr. kelly has imposed. mr. kushner and ivanka have to decide if they serve the president better by walking way from the white house roles. the editorial page of the wall street journal. the task of deciphering the last 48 hours falls on tal kopan. most people have not heard of the communications director hope hicks. that does not describe how effective she is for the president. how big a loss is this for him? a tremendous loss when you talk about the emotional loyalty connection people around the president. hope hicks has been with him since the very beginning of the
management after the company founder went to the white house to discuss infrastructure. another loan from citigroup for $325 million. kushner stepped down as ceo of the kushner companies when he started at white house. he has retained a majority of the interests in the companies. abbe lowell says he has no business since he joined the white house. the battle lines with jared kushner and chief of staff john kelly appear to be more entrenched after the security clearance of kushner was downgraded. kushner remains exasperated by the decision openly asking others in the west wing why kelly is doing this and why are they out to get him. now questioning if jared kushner and ivanka trump should have positions in the white house at all. the editorial page is suggesting they could serve the president better from the outside. mr. trump s second year could determine his fate as the mueller probe rolls on.
on immigration and we return to the right entrenched republican position that really scuttle the deal at the end of the day. i think a lot of lawmakers are saying, well, we ll believe it when we see it. let s remember while this is a position and not so much the nra. president trump has not shown a high regard for due process. this is also a president who is musing about using capital punishment on drug dealers and talked about throw them in jail or kick them out. he doesn t seem to be one who really has a lot of esteem for lengthy court process to protect some of the rights. it is not entirely a shocker he would say why slow down with these steps. let s get to the heart of the issue. it is one thing to i to
with the personalities. this has serious consequences. hope hicks. some called her trump s prozac. we have to find out. she was close to the president with him the longest other than his children in the white house. you know with him from the beginning. reports she was the last person to walk him to the residence every night. it is hard to imagine the trump administration without hope hicks. i guess we will see what that s like. interesting. most americans probably have no idea who she is as we never hear her speak. we understand her role is integral in the white house. it should be interesting in terms of guiding this president. who he confides in now that keith shiller and her are gone. let s talk about jared kushner. the first son-in-law.
the president with the extraordinary meeting on oguns. he talked about the mentally ill. he said the mentally ill should be stripped of their guns. take the firearms first and then go to court. that s another system. a lot of times by the time you go to court, it takes so long to go to court to get the due process procedures. you could do what you are saying. take the guns first and due process second. the daily news doesn t love trump. tal. if a democratic candidate said that, they are taking our guns. this is against the constitution. yeah. basically. you know, it is astonishing to have a politician, but an office holder, suggest removing due process when it comes to taking away guns.
