The president’s former press secretary, Sean Spicer, and his first White House chief of staff Reince Priebus, will be rejoining the administration as members on Trump’s commission on White House fellowships.

The White House says the Commission must select applicants for fellowships based on a combination of criteria, including a record of remarkable professional achievement early in one’s career; evidence of leadership skills and the potential for further growth; and a demonstrated commitment to public service.

I liked Priebus. I know he was generally despised as an establishment weenie, but the man ran a fair GOP primary, and backed the eventual nominee strongly, even though Trump was obviously not the preferred establishment candidate. That's a hell of a lot more than can be said for the despicable DNC.

He's an honest guy.

I lack all of these qualifications. But if there's a paycheck in it, I can do it! (Channeling my inner Ernie Hudson from Ghostbusters)

Reince was expected to be a deep state weenie by DC GOPe, but he did his job well to get the candidate elected. Glad to have him back on board.

Both Sean and Reince were proven correct. They both wanted to purge the Obama holdovers within the White House. And they both were let go because they allegedly wanted to support building personal empires, an Obama counter intel meme.

Both were right. Now the President is forced to purge the Obama holdovers at NSC, NSA, CIA, FBI and DOJ.He cannot conduct policy while the leaks continue, and autocrats drag their feet in opposing policy changes.

Maybe Steve Bannon will be invited back. He would be excellent as an NSC recruitment staffer and internal security specialist. The lie detector is his friend.

Machiavelli gives timeless advice on this and obviously Trump hadn’t read “The Prince” or had forgotten the advice.

Once Flynn was taken down, the deep staters got their man H.R. McMaster installed, who then refused, not only to purge the holdovers, but also to put in the NSC more enemies of Trump.

No thanks

That guy is best NOT being in the White House

He is best on the outside, that way he can do/say whatever he wants.

Same with Gorka

I like them both but it would be like hiring Rush Limbaugh into the White House, he would have to give up his massive media platform that does us way more good then whatever he could accomplish in the White House, Stave and Gorka in my opinion are in the same boat.

H.R. McMaster was a disaster. What were they thinking? It nearly cost Donald Trump the presidency.

As the head of the RNC Priebus rode heard on the anti-Trumpers’ antics during the GOP convention by blocking their rule-changing shenanigans and halting their protests on the convention floor.

Trump values loyalty, so making Priebus his Chief of Staff probably seemed to make sense at the time. It was just too much for him.

I agree. Reince was probably not the right guy for COS but he was a good fundraiser and defied the GOP in taking the party where Trump needed it to go, otherwise he’d have been another Ryan. Spicer is solid but wasn’t up to being the Press Mommy.

These guys obviously wanted back in badly and will now be motivated to do a good job.

As I recall, Reince Priebus was at the White House when there was a ton of anti-Trump leaking, and that leaking dryed up around the time he left.

Letting Rinse back in is a hugh mistake. Spicer a smaller mistake.

Honest guy? This guy was a leaker and a RINO. I despise Prince Reibus. Trump should have never hired him even back then, worse that he’s bringing this douche back...
