Trump consulted his bodyguard on decision to fire Comey

The astounding ridiculousness of this very, very strange man occupying the White House will never cease to amaze.

"Several people close to the president say his reliance on a small cadre of advisers as he mulled firing Comey reflects his broader distrust of many of his own staffers. He leans heavily on daughter Ivanka Trump and son-in-law Jared Kusher, as well as Hope Hicks, his trusted campaign spokeswoman and Keith Schiller, his longtime bodyguard. Schiller was among those Trump consulted about Comey and was tapped by the president to deliver a letter informing the director of his firing."

Who want to protect their own self-interests before even considering the better good of the nation.

Installed by ignorance; perpetuated by propaganda; insulation through partisanship. What a winning formula for a democracy-cum-fascist state.
