The VSG's got himself a plateful of trouble

 We'll just bullet-point the highlights for now and see what merits deeper dives as the week unfolds. 

Suffice it to say that Trump is presently on the receiving end of the karma he's been catalyzing for some time.

• There's Steve Bannon's arrest by postal agents aboard a yacht owned by an exiled Chinese billionaire , the charges being related to his and his associates' alleged use on personal luxury items of money from a crowdfunding campaign ostensibly established to get the Mexico border wall built with private donations. 

• There's Kellyanne Conway's abrupt resignation as a senior White House advisor. She's one of those figures like Kayleigh McEnany who didn't get on board the Trump Train until there were no other GOP candidates left. Conway supported Cruz as long as he was a viable possibility. Actually, her husband George voted for the VSG in 2016 as well, having serious doubts about the VSG's ability to rise to the task of being president, but hoping for the best. I think Kellyanne's public statement is probably about right, that she needs to work on repairing relations within her family. 

• There's the tapes that Mary Trump made secretly of conversations over the last couple of years with her aunt, former federal judge Maryanne Barry, who is also Donald Trump's sister. This is stuff that didn't even appear in MT's recently published book. Barry says that the VSG has "no principles" and calls him "cruel."

• Sean Hannity, arguably the biggest suck-up in the entire VSG cult, gained weight from stress-eating and incessant vaping a short time into the Trump era, telling an associate, "If you were hearing what I'm hearing, you'd be vaping, too," referring to the multitude of private conversations that Hannity and Trump have had. Hannity has told several colleagues that Trump is bat-s--- crazy.

• Also according to the forthcoming book by Brian Stelter from which this tidbit is gleaned, several people who work at Fox News are concerned about the outsized influence at the network exerted by its hardcore Trumpists: Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Tucker Carlson and the Fox & Friends crew.
