Trump names Rep. Mark Meadows his new chief of staff

Under fire for his handling of the coronavirus crisis, President Donald Trump on Friday made a major staff overhaul, announcing that Rep. Mark Meadows will be replacing Mick Mulvaney as his chief of staff.

Trump announced the surprise reshuffle in a series of Friday night tweets, saying Mulvaney would become the U.S. special envoy for Northern Ireland.

“I have long known and worked with Mark, and the relationship is a very good one,” he wrote, thanking Mulvaney — who never shook his “acting” title — “for having served the Administration so well.”

The long-rumored move makes Meadows, who announced last year that he was not seeking reelection for his House seat from North Carolina, effectively Trump’s fourth chief of staff since taking office in 2017.

That's enough of the left-wing AP. See the link for more.

How does a “long-rumored” “surprise reshuffle” work?

Journalism at its most incompetent.

I believe this was long in the making. About 2 years is all one can basically survive in a position like that.

I saw a video of a guy getting a baseball signed by Trump at a game.

Meadows was with him.

Perhaps this will be a good fit.

The leftist MUST make Trump's gov't look disorganized and out of control. Biden must convince the morons that vote that he can make things as good as when Hussein Obama was in charge.

Only an idiot would believe that but, as we know, there are millions who vote for Democrats.

Any chance you might be able to provide a time line that I could review to verify the times that Biden would be looking to replicate to make things “as good as when Hussain Obama was in charge”.

It's hilarious that these are professional writers and journalists.

I remember someone, possibly on Fox, commenting that Meadows was going to be Trump's chief of staff maybe as far back as during the impeachment trial. I definitely remember checking to see if Mick was still acting chief of staff at the time.

I like Mick but sometimes he's said things that were too easily misconstrued for political purposes.
