Just a day after Chris Ruddy, Newsmax Media CEO, joined President Trump for a drink (Trump had a diet Coke, Ruddy had a scotch), the long-time friend appeared Sunday on CNN's Reliable Sources and unprompted, launched into an attack on the President's chief of staff, Reince Priebus, describing him as weak and incompetent.
Drinks two days ago...
Is Priebus on the out? And will Steve Bannon now become de facto Chief of Staff?

Well, Omarosa gave it good to the idiots on “The View.”
So, I’m all for that!

Since when does the president's chief of staff need to "punch back hard?" There are plenty of people on Trump's team who are well suited for that.
Why would anyone listen to what a CLINTON SUPPORTER has to say on any subject?

The left is freaked out about Bannon, but not a peep out of them regarding the communist Valerie Jarrett.

Possibly in before the “fake news” slogan.

A lot of smart posts on this thread. I tend to agree Trump needs someone in his inner circle who knows how to navigate the beltway. When draining a swamp, you need an alligator wrestler.
That said, perhaps there is some confusion (including in my own head) about the Chief of Staff’s job description.
To: Enlightened1
I'd question the source - Ruddy. Is there any reason to believe that he has any credibility whatsoever? If he's a friend of Trump, why would he leak something that harms the public perception of the Trump White House like this? Trump and his CoS have only been on the job a few weeks - I doubt there's been enough time for anyone to assess Priebus' performance yet.
And this woman Omarosa Manigault really does look stunning.

Priebus is an automatic suspect. Him and Ryan have agenda beyond or separate from President Trump.

His main functions are to oversee senior staff, control the President’s message, control access to the President, and negotiate with Congress. Priebus is probably better suited for this than anyone else in Trump’s inner circle, no matter what this jackass Clintonite Chris Ruddy thinks.

They’re not the same size, many women have that “problem.”

“Priebus is too close to Ryan.”
Amen.

President Trump has been effusive in his praise of Reince Priebus ever since election night, when he made it abundantly clear that he thinks Mr. Priebus is a "superstar".
So, unless something drastic has occurred to change the President's opinion, I think it highly unlikely that Mr. Priebus will be on his way out anytime soon...

If they can make the United States as good as they made Wisconsin then I would give them a bit of rope....a bit. That doesn’t meant that they go against Trump in anyway.

She is very loyal to President Trump. He helped helped her several times over the years with business ventures. When he fired her from all star apprentice, he credited her with helping to make him a star (apprentice season one villain). I cannot imagine that she would betray him.
To: napscoordinator
They, and friend Walker, are AMNESTY lovers. I don’t trust any of them. President Trump has built up a great team but these folks are weak links.

Is Priebus on the out? Did Trump say that he is out?
No?
I'll wait until I hear Trump or Spicer say it.
To: Seaplaner
Keep Priebus.

I have to say it knowing I will get raked over the coals here.
Get rid of Kelly Anne Conway.
She is a gal that has her own mission. She is divisive, plotting and conniving and trying to grow her own empire.

Garbage. Palace intrigue has gone on for centuries. This is just pablum BS.
To: ground_fog
I would not trust Chris Ruddy. I recall him being anti-Trump prior to the elections. Or was this more of fake news?
