President Trump is weighing a “huge reboot” in his White House staff after becoming disappointed with several aides, according to a report on Sunday.
The shake-up could include White House press secretary Sean Spicer, top strategist Steve Bannon and Chief of Staff Reince Priebus, Axios reported.
“He’s frustrated, and angry at everyone,” Axios quoted an unidentified confidant in the White House. “The advice he’s getting is to go big — that he has nothing to lose. The question now is how big and how bold. I’m not sure he knows the answer to that yet.”
Trump has complained about some Cabinet members touting their own accomplishments and or not praising him enough, the website reported, citing sources.
“He’s frustrated and angry at everyone,” one of the sources said.
Talk of overhauling the West Wing ratcheted up after the president last week fired FBI Director James Comey, who was overseeing the investigation into Russian involvement in the 2016 election and whether Trump campaign officials colluded with Kremlin officials.
Axios reported that associated said the implicit message in a shake-up would be that he can handle the Oval Office better than his aides.
“I get it. I’m moving on. I get that I can do a better job,” the website quoted a top aide. “He’s never going to say he did a bad job.”
In an interview with Fox News Channel’s Jeanine Pirro, Trump played up that go-it-alone approach, floating the idea he should end the daily White House press briefings for reporters and take care of it himself.
“Unless I have them every two weeks and do it myself, we won’t have them. I think it’s a good idea,” he told Pirro on her show “Justice with Judge Jeanine” that aired Saturday.

All Trump needs to do is stop the daily press briefings. Put a press release periodically on the WH website.... and go about making America great again. That’s it...
I really hope Bannon survives too.
And that Jivanka go back to NYC.
But what this article is describing as a possibility—essentially making Jivanka the COOs of his presidency—would be an absolute and total disaster.
"Report" means that they are basing their information on "somebody else's unnamed source".
This is a reboot of the Axios story based on fake news. So it’s fake news about fake news.
Journolists repeating Fake News reports.
Some people will believe anything...
For example, nobody saw the Comey firing coming last week. Nobody. Not one single person in the MSM. Nobody saw the Syria bombing. Nobody saw the MOAB getting dropped on Afghanistan. Nobody saw the second (successful) try to overturn ObamaCare in the Congress. Nobody.
The MSM have been proven to be fools who know absolutely nothing. Trump always surprises.

Does freedom of expression also allow freedom from veracity and truth?
I am not a Constitutional lawyer, but sometimes I question the wisdom of the First Amendment. It seems to be a “throw anything against the wall, see what sticks” type of Amendment.
If Trump wants to clean house, why not start with Ivanka?
Axios is FAKE NEWS. Every report from them has not come to fruition.
Smells exceedingly fake
Sounds good, not like he ever listened to Bannon anyway.
They left out the rest of the news - Trump is going to get a sex change operation, too!
Jim Acosta?
there. fixed it.
His latest problems stem not from the press office but his interview with Lester Holt.
