The view inside is that they are now 'running the building,'" one of Donald Trump's allies told the New York Times. For some months, the couple "have been seen as maneuvering for greater control and influence around the president," the Times added.
Their maneuvering didn't sit well with Kelly, and it's apparently one of the reasons he's decided to leave his job at the end of the month.
His departure was seen inside the White House as "as a coup" for Ivanka Trump and Kushner, known by the nickname Javanka.
I don't think it matters. Trump has always run the show, no? And nobody is worse than him.Another Bear said:
Well, this should scare the crap out of anyone with common sense. Sounds like trouble and when (not if) the shyt hits the fans these incompetent boobs are going to make things worse. Oh right..and Kushner is owned by the Saudis. What could go wrong? Once again, you can't make this crap up.

Trump's decision today to withdraw from Syria is a great one, huge turning point if he does follow through. He run on a non-interventionist foreign policy but hasn't delivered, until now. Hillary wanted a no-fly zone in Syria, which would have led to serious military escalation and further devastation in the Middle East. Kudos to the Orange Man for this positive foreign policy development.
I'll be honest, I don't care about Tom Arnold and his speculation.Cal88 said:
Trump doesn't even drink. The guy is half Scottish and doesn't touch whisky, he's not going to snort chemicals that ruin kids up his nose if he's too weary of sipping scotch, Tom Arnold is full of it. Trump has got enough flaws as it is, philanderer, liar etc, no need to make stuff up.

And MAYBE it will help incentivize those countries to actually do something about said local strife, if the governments can't keep propping themselves up with oil money from the West.golden sloth said:
Finally, the best way to fight the insecurity of an unstable middle-east is to invest in renewables and diminsh the world's reliance on oil. The technology is here and ready and is cost-effective, it is time to implement it. It doesn't solve the ethnic, religious and political strife of the region, but it does mitigate its impact to the rest of the world.

WASHINGTON
A day after a contested decision to pull American military forces from Syria, officials said Thursday that President Trump has ordered the start of a reduction of American forces in Afghanistan.
More than 7,000 American troops will begin to return home from Afghanistan in the coming weeks. The move will come as the first stage of a drawdown and the start of a conclusion to the 17-year war...
