I normally wouldn't give this type of thing time but some of this stuff he is saying is pretty believable. First he claims Trump doesn't want to get rid of DACA but Bannon is telling him he will lose the alt-right if he does. Priebus is the glue holding everything together and wanted to quite over having to defend Sean on Chris Wallace. Trump thinks wikileaks is "on his side" and wants to use them against political opponents. An they have no idea what to replace ACA while Trump is insisting no on loses healthcare coverage after the switch. Some other interesting stuff as well https://imgur.com/a/TSrPJ

Trump wouldn't be nearly as bad if he didn't have Bannon and Steve Miller around.

He'd still be pretty bad though.

And for as plausible as this is, I'm skeptical

I don't think a whistleblower would tag his boss in a tweet.

Trump cares about illegal immigrants now?

Yeah I'm calling BS on this one.

Trump has expressed that he only wants to deport criminals, has he not?

I find this believable, mostly, but I don't understand why Priebus would be threatening to quit rather than having the interview on Fox News Sunday. I imagine this is a very low-level staffer who's only hearing a lot of these rumors second- or third-hand after they've trickled down from the people who actually have access to Trump.

I don't think a whistleblower would tag his boss in a tweet.

Why not? He doesn't identify who he is, he seems paranoid about hiding his identity so he's probably accessing Twitter through a VPN or something, and at several points he's basically saying "if I get fired for this, so be it, I don't even care at this point"

I remember reading 1 month after Trump won that Preibus really didnt want to work for Trump but was coaxed heavily by Paul Ryan to keep Trump in line

As hard as it may be to believe, Preibus isnt a total jackass. He actually feels bad about having to lie his ass off for Trump.

I think you're projecting what you want to believe.

Also, this is clearly fake news.

YOu could be right...Preibus I guess enjoys lying his ass off then

This could just be propaganda but it could be true. It doesn't really mean anything yet.

There is no secret info.

Trump tweets everything.
