Heilemann: Trump’s ‘At War with the Entire Establishment’

‘Last time Donald Trump went to war with a Washington establishment, it was the intelligence establishment’

EXCERPT:

HEILEMANN: "I want to get to some of the other non-candy striper voices around the table. Nicole just made this point, Richard, about the list of people that Trump took on in the legal judicial law enforcement establishment. It seems to me he is now at war effectively with our entire establishment. The Justice Department, the F.B.I., these institutions that have quasi-independent status in Washington. They are political appointments, but they operate independently. Last time Donald Trump went to war with a Washington establishment, it was the intelligence establishment. It did not work out that well for him."
