MSNBC Panel: Trump’s Intimidated By the Grown Ups in the W.H.

‘He wants them to feel that they’re not quite safe, that at any moment he can get rid of them’

RUSH EXCERPT:
JACOBUS: "Gary Cohn’s name is floated around all the time as a potential White House chief of staff, so it’s not surprising that it just came out a minute ago now that you’re reading it to me. But we all know that Donald Trump loves pitting people against each other. And I think he’s intimidated by the adults as we call them in the White House, and the generals, and Cohen, he’s intimidated by these people, he likes controlling them and he likes seeing them fight. He wants them to feel that they’re not quite safe, that at any moment he can get rid of them. And I think most of them would say thank god, get me out of here. But he likes to keep people at the edge of their seats and pits them against each other. And we have heard this is how he has always handled his business, so the fact that he had Cohen in there talking about replacing Kelly, doesn’t surprise a bit."
