Trump's treatment of Christie is one of the very few issues where I'm forced to say that Donald Trump is doing a fine job that I think we can all be proud of.

Getting Kelly in as Chief of Staff may actually strengthen the Trump Administration in the long run. By all accounts, he seems to be competent, and Trump doesn't hate him and take every opportunity to belittle him like he did Reince.

At this point I've given up on worrying that this adminstration is going to suddenly pivot into competency. It won't. Trump himself is the source of the the chaos and as long as he's there this admin will continue to lurch from scandal to scandal with no overarching strategy or plan of any sort.

This isn't to say they can't cause damage, they can, just not the kind that takes careful planning or messaging.

Does The Mooch's short tenure break some sort of record?
According to wikipedia he upset the previous record by one day.

The previous shortest stint of Comm Dir. was this guy:

quote:

In 1987, Koehler, who was friends with Ronald Reagan, became the White House Communications Director.[1] However, Koehler resigned after just one week in the White House after it became public that he had been a member of the Deutsches Jungvolk, a Nazi government youth division, when he was just ten years old.

Lol at all of you who are prognosticating a competency turn from Trump now that Kelly is in. Haven't some of you been waiting for that turn since uh...the primarys ended?

Trump will stab Kelly in the back just like he'll stab everyone but Ivanka. And maybe even her.

He only cares about himself, his ego, his name in lights, his picture on the front page, etc. No one else matters. It's that easy to understand.

Trump turns on everyone eventually. It's in his narcissistic nature. Doesn't matter if you are competent or not, especially since Trump is terrified of being seen as inferior to anyone who works for him. Competency and being seen as good puts you at even greater risk of being fired.

Kelly's going to have a nice honeymoon period and then everything will go down hill for him.

given that the COS insisted on shooting him in the face as a condition of taking the job and that, theoretically, new hires would go through the COS, it seems unlikely there's another position waiting for him
