Trump supporters have absolutely no cognitive dissonance between claiming they elected him to "clean the swamp" and having obviously elected by far the most corrupt administration in history.
Trump also is often not versed in the particulars of the federal budget.
Chief of Staff John F. Kelly has told others about watching television with Trump and asking the president how much the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff earns. Trump guessed $5 million, according to people who were told the story by Kelly, startling the chief of staff. Kelly responded that he made less than $200,000. The president suggested he get a large raise and noted the number of stars on his uniform.

The W.H. counsel's office is down to a skeletal staff, potentially leaving them unprepared to deal with subpoenas when Dems control the House.

JUST IN: Trump's reluctance to hold Saudi Arabia accountable for Khashoggi murder partly stems from aspirational US-Saudi $110 billion arms deal inflated at the direction of Jared Kushner, two US officials and three former White House officials tell @ABC. https://abcn.ws/2DYnORu

"The President's behavior towards me made me wonder: What did he have to gain by saying such a thing about a fellow Republican," Love said in speech today. “It was not really about asking him to do more, was it? Or was it something else?“ https://www.cnn.com/2018/11/26…
