At the urging of longtime friends and outside advisers, most of whom he consults after dark, President Trump is considering a "huge reboot" that could take out everyone from Chief of Staff Reince Priebus and chief strategist Steve Bannon, to counsel Don McGahn and press secretary Sean Spicer, White House sources tell me...
"The advice he's getting is to go big — that he has nothing to lose," the confidant said..
One note of caution: Trump often talks about firing people when things go south and does not follow through on it. So it's possible these conversations are his way of venting, and seeking reassurance.
And it all could take a while: Trump heads out on his first international trip at the end of the week. Also, there's an internal argument for minimizing drama by cutting people out of the information flow rather than firing them....

More from the never ending stream of FAKE NEWS. These idiots apparently neither read nor understood “The Boy Who Cried Wolf”.
Trump has so many do-overs he needs to make re: key personnel (largely because he listened to Jared on the Priebus and other hirings), that he’d do best to correct as many as he can in one fell swoop as part of a well designed reorganization.
From Rush to Fox tv commentators, there have been suggestions that Trump needs to shake up his staff and to get rid of the leakers. Undoubtedly, there is truth that Trump is speaking to friends about this. (I’ll bet he talks to Rush.) I remember at least two months ago, people here were suggesting he get rid of Preibus.
And OMG—Jared, along with bringing peace to the Middle East, managing key relationships with China, etc., and reinventing government, among many other assignments in his portfolio, is now working on prison reform? And Trump is upset with Sessions, his AG, for stepping on snowflake Jared’s prison reform effort? (We know what would really happen—Jared’s liberal Democrat “prison reform” would be a disaster.)
He wants to wipe out Bannon at the same time that he gives his whole government over to Jivanka?
I can’t believe there is a single worthwhile senior “friend” of his giving him that horrific stew of advice!
If someone from Team Trump is lurking, the only advice I have is go even darker, dark like Ben Rich ran the F-117 program so you can do your work.
Part of it is IMHO the Press is 90% Dem's/Progressive/Obamatons, they must be really pissed that their team didn't win, but worse, they know they are already in limited access mode and the likes of Scott Spicer etc know their audience, and who they are dealing with aka this isn't friendly territory. I bet a lot of people here wouldn't trade their job for his for all the tea in China. Everyday all he faces in incoming...
“.......cutting people out of the information flow rather than firing them.”........
Might be a good way to go.
And neocon puppet, climate change Tillerson is one of the few getting praise? Yikes!!!
BS
Ah, more “sources” and “reports” and “suggestions” which add up to exactly ZERO.
Who is Axios News?
Started by same guy that started Polutico.
Fake News extraordinaire.
Allen has great sources and this article is now the top headline at Drudge.
“sources tell me... “ + “Axios”
Yeah, ok.
I am no fan of Kevin Williamson (or the crew over at NR generally), but he is spot on with this—and making Jivanka the COO of his administration is not the answer. (Rather they are a large part of the problem.)

Popular Science had pretty good sources back in those days. Artist concepts may not have panned out exactly, but they were based on true engineering drawings.
I’d bet we see many staff changes over the next few years. And all decided by Trump’s plans going forward, not because he’s looking backwards and angry/irked/unstable/other-media-word-of-the-week.
From the campaign, I pictured Trump always wants to have “the right people” in positions at the right time. Most candidates wouldn’t think of using 3 difference campaign managers at different points in the campaign. But Trump had no problem changing personell when situation or needs changed. Rather than considering that an admission that the previous hire was bad he presented both being smart hires at the time for the current needs and moving forward. And people who left didn’t part on bad terms so it doesn’t seem like it’s because Trump was irked.
At this point Trump has a better idea of his staff/aide needs and likely has different needs than when he started. For example, it’s possible that Priebus was a huge help learning DC processes and making contacts, setting up meetings, etc, before. But those things aren’t as useful now. And Trump has a better idea of who his “enemies” in congress are and is no doubt planning ways to negotiate, which may need different approaches and people.
Drudge depends on clicks, and is not above posting stuff like that to get them.
Fake news trying to make Trump look erratic. It is also designed to push the Ivanaka and Jerrad buttons of the Trump supporters.
LMAO.
