Donald Trump’s goons are taking each other down like a bad episode of Game of Thrones

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

Donald Trump assembled the most corrupt and incompetent administration in United States history, so it hasn’t been shocking that a record number of his people have already been forced to resign amid controversy and scandal. What is somewhat surprising is how many of Trump’s goons have taken each other down, like something out of Game of Thrones. Now we’re learning that uber-corrupt EPA boss Scott Pruitt and alleged wife beater Rob Porter have been caught up in a bizarre entanglement.

Trump’s White House spent a long time trying to cover up the allegations made against Rob Porter by his two ex-wives, and then reluctantly fired him in February after the media got wind of it. Recently it came to light that Porter’s ex-girlfriend Samantha Dravis, who works at the EPA, was the one who initially informed the White House about Porter’s past. This was her absolute right, and she appears to be the only person in this story who didn’t do anything wrong. From there, things got ugly.

Inside EPA is now reporting that Porter tried to retaliate against Dravis by telling the media about the corrupt behavior of her boss, EPA head Scott Pruitt. Now that Pruitt’s corruption scandal has blown up, he’s in danger of losing his job. We’re all for that, but the problem is that Porter apparently did it to try to harm Dravis. Sure enough, Dravis has now resigned from the EPA.

So it looks like Rob Porter lost his job because he should have, Samantha Dravis lost her job for doing the right thing, and Scott Pruitt is about to lose his job because Porter wanted revenge on Dravis. This comes after Anthony Scaramucci got Reince Priebus fired, and then Priebus was replaced by John Kelly, who fired Scaramucci. Donald Trump’s White House is like a bad episode of Game of Thrones.
