Trump, the opportunist of all opportunists.

There is a very concerning article in the "Daily Beast." Evidently other White House staffers are worried about Navarro's dangerous ambitions. Evidently, he likes to wear a wire.

This is a good example of the wayward methods of the Trump administration. They don't look at their agenda as overly aggressive and damaging. The agenda as soon as possible is the only thing they understand and seek. Any opportunity to achieve it is sought.
