David Gregory on W.H. Tensions: Trump Likes To Be Seen as Unpredictable

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
GREGORY: "Despite the disdain for the news media. People waiting to call their favorite reporter. All white houses have this kind of drama and confrontation and tension about whose views hold the most sway. You go back to the bush 43 white House. The tension between Rumsfeld and Chaney. And condoleezza rice's white House was able to assert itself. You know, that tension was very much in play. That was dangerous ultimately because it undermined the interagencies. It undermined the information flow that led to poor decision making at times. Here, family is going to win. Here it is interesting because trump apparently likes everybody to play off each other. He has different people with different impulses. Bannon helped him appeal to the fringe populous conservatism. Around which he would like to define the Republican Party. Kushner keeps him in control and he trusts him and he helps manage the unpredictability. This tension will go on. It is playing out publicly. In the end, I think family wins, but in the end, I think trump wants to keep this balance. Unpredict able balance. I think he likes to be seen unpredictable."
