Trump Prepares To Send Priebus Packing

Posted on June 23, 2017 by DCWhispers

Reince Priebus, the then-RNC Chair, was never a fan of Donald Trump’s insurgency presidential campaign. Priebus was allied with party Establishment figures like Paul Ryan, Mitt Romney, Jeb Bush, Scott Walker, and John Kasich. And yet, despite that anti-Trump history, Donald Trump made Priebus his White House Chief of Staff so that Priebus could utilize his extensive party contacts and influence to move the Trump agenda forward.

That hasn’t happened and as a result Mr. Priebus is now poised to find himself standing outside the Trump White House looking in.

“He won’t last the summer.”

So goes the repeated mantra of several figures familiar with the Trump White House. It is a belief that was the foundation of today’s report by THE HILL regarding the same subject:

Priebus ‘most imperiled’ person at White House


“…The Post reports that Trump is dissatisfied with the chaos in the White House and wants someone with more governing experience to take over the top job. Sources told the Post that Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney and Rep. Chris Collins (R-N.Y.) have both been floated for the job. 

One source told the Post that Priebus is “the most imperiled person here.”

The report claims that Priebus’s job security could rest on the passage of healthcare and tax reform. According to the Post, Priebus is heavily involved in the White House efforts to repeal ObamaCare and pass tax reform and could exit the White House early to save face if he feels he’s accomplished his goals.”


Trump’s reported dissatisfaction with Priebus comes in two parts. The first is the internal chaos within the Trump White House – namely leaks and alleged constant infighting. The second is how successful Congress has been in obstructing the Trump agenda – including by the very Republicans Priebus was supposed to gain the support of.

Rumors are also circulating that Mr. Priebus wants out but not before he succeeds in helping to get Congress to pass healthcare reform which in turn will lay the groundwork for sweeping tax reform to soon follow. If he can accomplish that his legacy will remain intact and he can exit the Trump White House with his head held high.

The question is if Donald Trump is willing to allow Priebus that long.

Whispers indicate that might not be the case.

Trump to Priebus: "Don't you love watching them chase the cheese?"

Yeah, ‘insider speculation’ is the ultimate Fake News.

But it’s true that Reince has a near impossible job. The establishment has ruled with an iron fist since Reagan left.

Yup. I never respected Priebus and knew it was just a matter of time that Trump would figure out that Priebus would have to go for a variety of reasons.

This is what? the 3rd time this rumor has circulated?

Last week was the rumor that SCJ Kennedy would retire tomorrow. Then, an article today says that is not going to happen.

Rumor after rumor after rumor after rumor — from unnamed sources, of course.

I had my doubts at times, but Priebus delivered a hugh victory to the republicans.

I remember hearing that any number of advisors were gone, baby gone. I’ll believe it when I see it.

I’m not a Priebus fan. I’ll be happy if he is gone. We need to replace the old GOP and RNC, not reinforce them.

I’m amazed this doesn’t have a FakeNews hashtag.

Geez! Next they will be saying Priebus slept with the Russian Ambassado.

Fake news based on rumors and whispers.

Rumors are also circulating that Mr. Priebus wants out but not before he succeeds in helping to get Congress to pass healthcare reform which in turn will lay the groundwork for sweeping tax reform to soon follow. If he can accomplish that his legacy will remain intact and he can exit the Trump White House with his head held high.

Whispers indicate that might not be the case.

“Yup. Watch for Sean Anthony to post it from his Canadian blog employers site tomorrow.”

Then we just ignore it and walk away like the blog post is a dead and rabid skunk. No pings to his blog site.

Your governor was my first choice, too. When I met him in Tampa, I was so impressed with his demeanor, and I loved his strength in dealing with the insurgents in your state.
