General Kelly is in charge: Now Bannon, Kellyanne, Jared and even Ivanka will report to new chief of staff and NOT to the president following White House shakeup
Daily Mail/UK, Jul 31. 2017

The White House said Monday afternoon that all senior aides – including Donald Trump's family members – will report to new chief of staff John Kelly.

The move marks a change in the West Wing, where first daughter Ivanka Trump, her husband Jared Kushner, chief strategist Steve Bannon and other top officials have all enjoyed Oval Office walk-in privileges and direct access to the president.

'General Kelly has the full authority to operate within the White House and all staff will report to him,' press secretary Sarah Sanders said Monday during a late afternoon press briefing.

Asked if that included Kushner, Bannon and other heavy hitters, she replied: 'That includes everybody at the White House.'

Sanders emphasized that Kelly, a retired Marine general, would 'bring new structure to the White House, and discipline and strength.'

'General Kelly has the full authority to carry out business as he sees fit,' she said.

I hope the Kushners are aware of this.

[Free Vulcan]

This is how it should be.

[montanajoe]

I hope Trump is aware of this..

I hope Trump is aware of this..

^^^ THIS.

Somehow.... I'm not so sure he is going to like the arrangement.

I'm sure Trump will let us all know via Twitter how he feels about it in due course.

    This could be what we've all been hoping and praying for, an Adult in charge.
    How much political capital can be expended on all this shit and still expect to get crap done?

Well, if he isn't aware that the Kushner's will now have to go through Kelly ... I feel another 'firing' coming on.

Exactly.  Way too much drama!!

Exactly.  Way too much drama!!

I'll take drama over business as usual. We wanted change and that doesn't come a la carte.

[Concerned]

Hopefully this will bring more focus, less drama, cleaner messaging, and clearer priorities for the entire White House (including the President himself).  Good luck Gen. Kelly, I'm afraid you're going to need it.

I hope he's a General Honore type who is not afraid to tell Trump not to get 'stuck on stupid.'

No, not asking for business as usual, I'm asking for the office of the President to conduct itself in a respectable manner where something will get accomplished rather than the continual rants, name-calling, tweets, firings, fake news, false accusations, etc.  He should have never put people like Priebus or Scaramucci in place to begin with and he should have never been allowed to give Jared and Ivanka a seat in the West Wing either. What happened to nepotism laws? As I stated, way too much drama! These appointments, in my opinion, indicate that Trump was absolutely clueless in the functionality of government; he is learning that governing a country is far different than running a business. No, definitely don't want Trump conducting 'business' as usual.

If we could just get rid of Trump.

Sorry... Ultimately, the guy in charge is not an adult.
