I agree, and that's part of the problem.  However, for someone who likes to have an aggressive element to his or her management style, as president it would be better for the president to be above the fray and to have a few well-behaved rotweillers available when a little fear or humiliation needs to be tossed around. 

I'm not saying I agree, or disagree, with the general principle; all I'm saying is that if Trump had been a little smart, he would have shut up, taken the high road, and put this guy in as his Chief of Staff immediately - assuming Scaramucci could learn to control himself properly.

I suspect that if the Remocrats and Depublicans wanted a president above the fray we'd have gotten a better
choice last fall. We got a choice of arsonists. Not exactly the kind to go above the fray.

Some called Donaldus Minimus a cobra. It seems as though he's staffed himself with a pack of mongeese.

That only works when the good and bad cops are independent, with no one subordinate to the other.

The scary mooch works for Trump.  So Trump is responsible for the behavior and actions of his employee when it is during work hours and part of his job responsibilities.

We had a plethora of good choices in the primary.

The blame is solely on those, that when given such choices, chose Trump.

No, it works when the top dog has an enforcer.  That's why top dogs typically have enforcers. 

And political/optical responsibility is not the same as a superiors legal liability for the actions of a subordinate. 

Think of the cliche of the gracious mob boss who can afford to be gracious, and is respected as such by those he deals with, even though also feared, because he has his ruthless subordinates. 

I'm not saying it's a management style to be emulated, and it is dependent on personalities, but it can be deployed and given the lions den of the civil service any republican president would find herself or himself in, might be advisable at this point in time.

The trouble is, Trump is simply too incompetent to carry it out.

Truth.

This guy kills me.  He needs to lay off watching The Godfather and Goodfellas.  He wants people to think he's some kind of street tough guy instead of a Harvard Law grad.

IMHO, there was only 1 person worth a damn and that was Ted Cruz.  There were a few that would have been acceptable; Fiorina, Jindal, Walker and Perry.  The rest, are part of the problem rather than the solution.

[Silver Pines]

That didn't last long. Apparently Mooch has already gotten on Don's bad side and is being told to shut up.

Lol, I give him four months, tops.

Sounds about right. For the mooch and john kelly alike.

I doubt he lasts 4 months.

While Trumpers cheer the inclusion of these rabid (Democrat) animals, they become ever more dangerous to Trump himself. When Trump inevitably turns on them, they air ever more dirty laundry about Trump.

Donaldus Minimus has become more and more like . . .



. . . except that the Mad Hatter was honest enough to say, "Come have some tea, we have no tea."

Bump. Just over 4 days. Not even 4 months. You called it.

If I were the new Chief of Staff I wouldn't rush to unpack either. At some point he's going to have to tell a member of the royal family "No". At that point his loyalty will begin to be called into question and his days will be numbered. John Kelly has already said that he didn't like the way Comey was fired.

BREAKING: Trump’s new pro-abortion, pro-LGBT communications director fired

Lifesite came out with this, so, his departure is not so bad.

That interview with the NYer was so bizarre, one wonders if it was planned.

You mean, his coke dealer was in with the Dems?

I've wondered about that too.  What's it going to look like when he tells Ivanka "no"?

Well, if you want to know who will bomb in the next primary, ask me who I like early on.  I've been the KOD for candidates since 2000.

We knew that before he was appointed, Tom.   Remember all those tweets that disappeared when he was appointed?  It was only a couple of weeks ago....

Getting rid of Scaramucci was a great first step, but Kelly needs longevity to have real substantive impact.  If he were to last a year as Chief of Staff, that would probably be a positive sign for the Trump White House.  Unfortunately, I doubt he'll last that long.
