Now all Trump needs to do is purge the Bannon/Sessions/Miller wing of the administration and he can be fully surrounded by family members, bewildered career military officers, and Gordon Gekko cosplayers.

Trump didn't like that Priebus didn't 'return fire' at Scaramucci.

Yep it fits Trump perfectly. Trump has long advocated that you have to punch back even on the Apprentice. Its why he does half the shit he does in the first place. He cannot take criticism or negativity and just let it go. Has to lash out

I'm pretty sure Obama had a good feeling that this whole admin would implode from the inside.

Maybe it's taking longer than we thought but it's happening.

Seriously these 6 months have felt like an eternity.

Whoa, that's mad, absolutely mad, and his replacement well uh I guess he couldn't be that much worse, right? Uh!

That was pretty short for a Chief of Staff.

I don't know if Trump actually know what it takes to be Chief of Staff, and given his penchant for hiring worse than before I expect this will go poorly.

I don't think Trump knows much of anything in general either.

Senior administration officials say a lower profile might suit a man once derided by critics as “President Bannon,” whose growing fame, including an appearance on the cover of Time magazine as “The Great Manipulator” and a spoofing by "Saturday Night Live" as a Grim Reaper shadowing the president reportedly irritated Trump. The president resented Bannon’s mythical status as the Svengali behind his improbable election, and called several reporters and television personalities complaining that Bannon was stealing credit for his victory.

I think Trump may be the easiest world leader to trigger in world history. I honestly can't believe how easy he is to bother lol

I'm half expecting Priebus to pull a Lewandoski on CNN and not attack the administration despite being booted, in hopes of being brought back later.

We'll see.

Lewandoski is likely making 7 figures now in DC as a consultant selling insight into the president's thought process and advice lobbying the administration. He wasn't going to burn that bridge.

Is anyone really buying that he resigned, given the way he was abandoned like a leper at the airport and not even acknowledged by the president on AF1?

From the Mooch's New Yorker interview yesterday:

"They’ll all be fired by me,” he said. “I fired one guy the other day. I have three to four people I’ll fire tomorrow. I’ll get to the person who leaked that to you. Reince Priebus—if you want to leak something—he’ll be asked to resign very shortly.” The issue, he said, was that he believed Priebus had been worried about the dinner because he hadn’t been invited. “Reince is a fucking paranoid schizophrenic, a paranoiac,” Scaramucci said.

So there you have it. The Mooch, the incoming WH Comms Dir, on the record, stating that Priebus will be asked to resign.
