Trump becoming ‘sour and dark’ as he turns against son-in-law Jared Kushner: report

As leaks from President Donald Trump's White House continue to spring in the aftermath of the president firing former FBI Director James Comey, staffers are revealing more information about the president's moodiness that is even directed at the closest in his inner circle.

According to a New York Times report by Maggie Haberman and Glenn Thrush, the president has not only been overheard complaining about having to fire his disgraced national security adviser Michael Flynn, but has also begun directing his mood swings at his son-in-law-turned-adviser Jared Kushner.

"His own mood, according to two advisers who spoke on the condition of anonymity, has become sour and dark," the report claims, "turning against most of his aides -- even his son-in-law, Jared Kushner -- and describing them in a fury as 'incompetent,' according to one of those advisers."

Along with sources decrying the president's temperament, the report also suggests that some aides believe Trump doesn't understand his intel well enough to have leaked anything serious to the two Russian officials he met with in the Oval Office last week.

"In private, three administration officials conceded that they could not publicly articulate their most compelling — and honest — defense of the president: that Mr. Trump, a hasty and indifferent reader of printed briefing materials, simply did not possess the interest or knowledge of the granular details of intelligence gathering to leak specific sources and methods of intelligence gathering that would do harm to United States allies," the report claimed.
