Trump aides keep folders documenting criticism by fellow Republicans: report

Source: The Hill




BY BRETT SAMUELS - 02/28/18 11:32 AM EST

Aides for President Trump have compiled folders to keep track of attacks Republican lawmakers and others levy against the president, The Washington Post reported Wednesday.

The newspaper reported that aides have documented criticisms made by Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) and other detractors about the president.

In Corker's case, they reportedly used the remarks to remind Trump of the senator’s past comments and convince him not to fully support Corker if he were to re-enter this year’s midterm race.

Aides reportedly reminded the president of the remarks to make sure he would not back the senator if he changed his mind. They said they did not want the feud brought back to the public's attention, according to the Post.

This bunch is not there to serve the people or defend the US, they are more interested in scoring points and retaliating against their perceived enemies, and going on fabulous, all expenses paid, party trips.

Bob Haldemann used to go around talking about the "Enemies List" to scare the shit out of people and keep them in line.
Now Trump has FOLDERS!?!?

Are these guys ever going to join the digital age? Can't they at least use a Flash stick or something?
