President Trump is considering a broad shakeup of his White House that could include the replacement of White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus and the departure of chief strategist Steve Bannon, aides and advisers tell us.
A top aide to Trump said he's contemplating major changes, but that the situation is very fluid and the timing uncertain: "Things are happening, but it's very unclear the president's willing to pull that trigger."
Insiders tell me that the possibilities for chief of staff include:
House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), who developed a bond with Trump as one of the earlier congressional leaders to support him, and remains a confidant. Wayne Berman of Blackstone Group, a Washington heavy-hitter who was an Assistant Secretary of Commerce under President George H.W. Bush, and a key adviser on eight presidential campaigns. David Urban of the Washington advisory firm American Continental Group, and a former chief of staff to the late Sen. Arlen Specter (R-Pa.). Urban helped Trump win an upset victory in Pennsylvania, and was in constant cellphone contact with the candidate throughout the campaign. Gary Cohn, Trump's economic adviser and the former #2 at Goldman Sachs, who has built a formidable team and internal clout. The West Wing "Game of Thrones" has been raging ever since Trump took office. But the war between the nationalists and the moderates, led by Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump, burst into the open this week after Bannon was taken off the National Security Council, setting off a torrent of leaks against him.
Bannon called reports that he was ready to quit "100 percent nonsense."
Axios' Jonathan Swan reports that Bannon told associates: "I love a gunfight."
The top aide — along with many other Trump officials, advisers and friends — told us that it seems to be more a question of "when" not "whether" change will come: "The tension, the exhaustion, the raw nerves have gotten much harder to disguise."
“House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy”
That would be a major mistake
Why not just put in Soros himself.
I saw Bannon’s name and it is fake news
Another example of very bad judgement or revalation of trumps true colors.
I have read previous reports of McCarthy forming a tight bond with Trump.
It’s over. The uniparty has won again.
Orly?
Who to believe, Bannon or unnamed sources?
Anybody following source Axios? Good, bad or ugly??
Sure fits with everything else being reported.
Mike Allen has very good sources.
In less than 3 months? LOL!
I almost feel sorry for the lame stream fake news. They are so out of the loop, this ch!+ they make up boarders on the National Enquirer stuff. Sucks too be them....
unnamed sources
More and more signs of prince and princess putting him bed with the neocons
Btw...farage is falling off his bandwagon after syria
I believe Allen was at Politico, which shows you which side he is coming from, but he is also a veteran reporter with good sources, so it would make sense that he would have liberal Democrat Kushner’s, likely accurate, side of the story.
Priebus and Ryan are incompetents and need to go. ASAP. McCarthy would be a disaster.
Whatever happens, it seems the Deep State Neo-Cons have re-established dominion over the America Firsters in the Trump administration.
Nothing ever changes in DC, people with the best intentions go astray. It appears no one can govern for the people and the establishment stays entrenched. They revel in their power and it is intoxicating! It changes people.
A talking head yesterday said Priebus’ may be in danger of losing his position because he couldn’t pull off the healthcare issue. What did Trump expect? Priebus & Ryan have been BFFs since childhood, IIRC. Ryan has an agenda; Priebus will assist him before Trump.
Either fake news or he’s been compromised.
Really? I would no quit my secure day job to work for Trump. Especially if my tenure is to be measured in weeks.
