Discussion: Reports: Trump Considering Senior Staff Shake-Up Amid Backlash To Comey Firing

I hear that PR agents John Baron and John Miller are available to work.These guys are the BEST. In fact they even sound like Trump. What could be better than that?

The timeless Stephen Colbert:

The White House has personnel changes, and everybody says, ā€œOh, they’re just rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.ā€

That’s a terrible metaphor – this administration isn’t sinking; it’s soaring!

If anything, they’re rearranging deck chairs on the Hindenburg.

It may come to that.

Out of 150 people working at the White House, it seems like at least 40 are leaking different things at different times to promote different agendas. Bannon’s certainly one of them. I think Javanka leak things too, just only when it’s good for them. WaPo cited 30 sources on one of their WH train wreck stories, which is basically just doing donuts on the guy’s lawn.

I’d love it if any ā€œtapesā€ were to leak, but they’re probably gone by now if they ever existed. Like the alleged tapes of him casually throwing around the n-word on the set of The Apprentice.

Soon the staff will consist of nothing but sock puppets

Shake-up? He’s barely filled any of the white house positions yet. What’s to shake-up? Is he going to start shaking Jared?

In both situations, the massive amounts of gas involved are the primary hazard.

More feeble attempts at distraction. I was hoping this shitshow would start sinking quickly, but this is almost beyond my wildest dreams. I wonder if he will even make it through the summer.

Trump is either his own U-Boat or Iceberg.

All I can remember are the ninety-nine lives Nixon had–or seemed to.

John Barron and John Miller know a lot of the things he has been doing in private. They might blurt it out.

I think Trump is really serious. He’s turning one of his properties over into Lubyanka and another into a gulag. Now he just needs occupancy, and of course, will stick Uncle Sam with the bill.

i remember that very special August evening in 1974 and eagerly await a similar announcement from this occupant of the Oval Office.

that Trump is considering a ā€œbroad shake-upā€ of his staff.

This should be interesting. As if the next staff will be any different. Almost got fired from a job for embarrassing the boss in front of the sales staff (and his boss). He was asking for everyone’s opinion about the company’s policies, which were always changing. I told him the company’s policy was no policy. The room got real quiet.

In lieu of firing and hiring, he’ll just get better news

@darcy I couldn’t find the quote about shaking some broads around, but there’s this which is all anyone needs to know.

a tacit agreement exists between him and the people who work for him: In exchange for the wealth, fame and power he conveys to them, they agree to absorb incoming fire directed at him. ā€œYou either work for himā€ or quit,

Although this makes me smile it also leaves me uneasy. Trump goes on rampages and ā€˜fires’ those he thinks are not ā€˜serving’ him well. The only person at fault here IS Trump. You can ā€˜serve’ but if the tyrant goes off into left field EVERY SINGLE DAY you can’t do your job (why you would WANT to is another question)…there is something truly wrong here.

Agreed completely on the ā€œJavankaā€ aspect. All they care about are protecting their brands and any way that they think will achieve that end is fine with them.

I think it would be nice of SNL to invite Spicey to host once he’s free of trump world.

You have to really ā€˜know your boss’ when they ask a question like that. I had a boss that asked a question like that and the room went totally silent. He insisted he wanted to KNOW and why wouldn’t we tell him. I answered THAT question that we didn’t feel safe in giving our opinion…I was laid off a couple of weeks later and after I left he went to my group and told them I said ā€˜bad things’ about him in my exit interview. Amazing.

To begin with, Kushner and Ivanka are nullities, whenever the shit hits the fan, they are nowhere to be seen, the craven. Pence is a total idiot and a coward, he can’t do anything right. I guess he could rely more on Omarosa and Katrina Pierson…
