In the final blow to the former White House Chief of Staff, Reince Priebus was ditched by his colleagues in the presidential motorcade and left alone when Trump tweeted about his departure while sitting on Air Force One.
The president bluntly wrote that Priebus would be replaced on Friday afternoon following an expletive-ridden interview given by new Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci that dubbed him a 'f***ing paranoid schizophrenic'.
Shortly before the shock announcement, Priebus had entered an SUV at Andrews AFBase in Maryland with other aides following a trip he took with the president to New York.
As Trump broke the news, White House Director of Social Media Dan Scavino and Senior Policy Advisor Stephen Miller were seen making a hasty exit from Priebus' car and getting into another van.

Priebus was and is a snake in the grass. This is a good move.
Priebus is giving pro-Trump interviews. Lewandowski did and does the same thing, and Lewandowski was fired too.
Not to say Priebus isn't part of the swamp, but so far he's been gracious and outwardly supportive of Trump.
There is a right way and a wrong way to fire people. Most of the political appointments for this administration have yet to be made. This kind of public humiliation discourages good people from coming forward. Give up a good and secure job? Take a pay cut? To be treated like this if it doesn’t work out?
Its not like Obama and his ilk were just “bad luck”.
I wouldn’t believe this article. Trump has been nice to Priebus and said that Reince resigned.
So cut the whining.
I don’t fault Trump for firing him as he did, that snake Priebus deserves humiliation for his backstabbing. I do fault Trump for brining him on.
We now have General John F. Kelly in place of Priebus. Trump seems to be doing just fine.
Priebus had resigned the night before. The announcement was not a surprise to him.
Hank Adler wrote this while basing Trump today:
“...If you want to drain a swamp, you don’t hire someone who once flew over a swamp and wants to be an alligator. You hire someone who has experience draining swamps, can deal with the regulatory agencies and can hire a competent contractor to do the necessary construction work...”
It is in that light I criticize Trump.
Yes, he gave a good interview to Hannity last night.
He helped a tremendous amount during the campaign and for that I’m grateful. Especially Florida.
He was being very gracious.
Fake news.
Absolutely!!
And now Trump should fire all RNC people that Priebus brought into this administration. If he doesn't, they remain to continue to infect this administration.
He indicated he would help in the transition for a few weeks.
“...giving pro-Trump interviews. Lewandowski did and does the same thing, and Lewandowski was fired too.”
Lewandowski is an enthusiastic supporter of the President. I enjoy every interview he gives. I wonder if he technically was “fired”, or if DJT had certain people picked for certain phases of his campaign. C.L. did a kick-ass job for his phase, and then someone else stepped in for the next one.
Right now priebus is doing exactly what scaramucci is going to do in his divorce..at least for now.
Allies will do the backstabbing. Already happening with both.
At least Trump didn’t have his car put in the junkyard auto crusher like Goldfinger did with a suddenly unneeded business partner.
"The final indignity: Priebus is abandoned by White House staffers who make hasty exit from his SUV when Trump tweets from Air Force One that he is out of a job.
"Former official Reince Priebus was publicly kicked out of his SUV, on Friday afternoon, beaten up, and thrown onto the road. The SUV then ran over him several times. He is listed in critical condition. New comm director Scaramucci tried to poison Priebus in his hospital bed but was stopped by a patriotic Hillary voter."
At that level, there is no “delicate” way to fire somebody. The age-old face-saving “I’m resigning to spend more time with my family” is a bunch of phony-baloney and everybody knows it. Everybody knows that that person just got kicked to the curb.
Snowflakes need not apply in the first place.
