In a signal that may suggest the Trump administration internally sees the writing on the wall, reporters say White House chief of staff Mark Meadows gave attendees at a recent GOP lunch what amounts to a “good-bye message.”

“Mark Meadows attended GOP lunch at the Capitol today and offered what senators are describing as a good-bye message. Cornyn tells reporters Meadows talked about ‘basically just there are about 45 days left of the president’s term,’” CNN’s Kevin Liptak wrote in a tweet this Wednesday.
