WASHINGTON — Four New York lawmakers got a firsthand glimpse of a historical White House staff shake-up on what was supposed to be a fun trip on Air Force One with President Trump.

On the way back from the MS-13 event, Priebus left the others at the conference table area and went into Trump’s private Air Force One office.

The chief of staff came out with a “poker face” and didn’t let anyone know the stunning news that he had just lost his job. He continued working

At Trump’s urging, he broke the news to the other lawmakers — asking that they keep it quiet until the official announcement.

True to Trump’s style, he made the announcement himself on Twitter as they returned to Washington.

Firing someone on a plane seems like the worst thing you could do to someone. They have nowhere to run.

Although, having fired a bunch of people over the past thirty five years I can tell you that if it gets to that point, everyone is relieved when you pull the trigger.

“They have nowhere to run.”

And neither do you. If could get ugly, depending on the fire-ee’s disposition, if he’s packing heat, etc.

Unnamed sources? The article quotes four congressmen by name.

At least he didn't have him escorted out of the building.

Oh, great—Trump confiding in Dina Habib Powell, close pal of Valerie Jarrett and Huma Abedin and McMaster’s chosen #2—for his choice on Kelly, who of course immediately moved to isolate him.

Trump has been snowed by the very Deep State that is plotting to do him in.

And Donovan seems to be the only blabber mouth. Most of the quotations from the congress critters say nothing about what went on

I don’t trust the post to get anything right. Most of this story is the reporters wet dream

You mean as opposed to being fired, given five minutes to pack their stuff into a cardboard box, and then thrown out a fire door as so many have been?

Sure.

I am just being pragmatic. Imagine getting fired like that. It certainly made a point.

The only thing worse would have been Trump making an announcement over the PA system.

I used to have a video game that would taunt the player if they got “killed” in a stupid way. That is how I envisioned his termination.
