Couldn't we have a G&M-authored article? This AP piece reads like an editorial. It says the Trump administration's has had a "rocky start" in which they "stumbled through a string of embarrassing public relations missteps". Although I might agree somewhat with that opinion, it is an opinion rather than news. Let's have more facts and less gossip from unnamed "people with knowledge of the situation" who "privately conceded" that AP's views are right. If there are few actual facts, keep the story short.
