Knives come out as furious GOP insiders go scorched earth on a 'White House gone rogue'

A furious GOP Senate aide fired off at Trump for ignoring the issues that matter ahead of the midterms, the conservative Daily Mail reported Friday.People are p— the f— off that prices are too high and things are too expensive, a senior GOP aide told the Mail. I'm just not sure the president really cares or if he's really in tune with what's going on on Capitol Hill.The aide's concerns came as the November midterms approach, which could cost the GOP Senate its majority. The Daily Mail noted recent controversial moves by Trump, like the appointment of Bill Pulte as acting Director of National Intelligence, his UFC cage match on the White House lawn, and the creation of his anti-weaponization fund.Between the Pulte nominations and anti-weaponization fund, the White House has definitely gone rogue and instead pushed priorities without talking to Congressional leadership, another senior GOP aide told The Daily Mail, bringing up that Trump hasn't even seemed to consult Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD). We're begging the White House to focus on issues to help Republicans in the midterms, the second aide continued. But it feels like it's falling on deaf ears.A third senior GOP congressional aide agreed, saying, The president's fiery public demands of Congress often seem disconnected from his staff's more deferential posture when dealing with GOP leadership and moderates, The Mail reported.The congressional aide also complained about wild swings in who gets thrown under the bus week by week, according to the Mail.A senior GOP House aide put some of the blame on Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) for hurting House Republicans by defending Trump.Speaker Johnson has relied so heavily on Trump to lead the conference and clean up his messes that it's no wonder Trump has taken more of an active role in dictating what he wants to see from Congress, the House aide told The Mail. Is it good for the institution? Not really, but Speaker Johnson is the one to blame for weakening the speakership.A fourth Senate GOP aide concluded, If our coalition falls apart, we will not be able to advance the president's priorities.
