Trump considering staff shake-up: reports
By Rebecca Savransky - 05/14/17 08:35 AM EDT

President Trump is reportedly weighing a shake-up in his administration.

The president is considering a "huge reboot" that could include chief of staff Reince Priebus, chief strategist Stephen Bannon and press secretary Sean Spicer, Axios reported early Sunday, citing White House sources.

The move comes at the urging of longtime friends and outside advisers, according to the news outlet.

"He's frustrated, and angry at everyone," an unidentified confidant told Axios. "The advice he's getting is to go big — that he has nothing to lose," the confidant added. "The question now is how big and how bold. I'm not sure he knows the answer to that yet."

More Trump blaming his staff for his own stupidity?

I predicted that almost none of them would be there after the first year.

He can shuffle the deck chairs all he wants, the person he needs to blame is the man in the mirror. Of course, we all know Trump won't do that so this will be a fun 4 years.

And we haven't even had a crisis yet. Trump can't even handle the day to day affairs of being President.

Idiotic.

I worked for a company where the CEO reorganized every 4 months. Any time anything went wrong - no matter how correctable - his initial reaction was, "We need to change things up!"

I argued vehemently with him, explaining that people had been unable to even find their stride in THE LAST role we had just assigned them. Nope - he was going to reorg anyways. I suppose it made him feel like he was doing something.

Morale was terrible. Our ability to function was extremely compromised. Turnover was very high. People were sometimes treated in a disposable fashion.

Funny thing was, ALL of the companies woes were due to one simple thing: he refused to capitalize our growth because he was afraid to lose ownership. I would tell him, "Owning 10% of a $1B company is better than owning 100% of a $10MM company!" And, for a company that had it's accounts receivables on yearly payments, we *had* to capitalize to properly support our growth. His own ego and greed buried his company.

I left the company after about a year, and he went bankrupt about 18 months later. In the end, he lost ownership alright... 100% of it.

Trump's administration sounds very, very familiar to this hellhole of a company.

He has a systemic problem.  He believes he is better than anyone.  Only he pleases himself.  If a person is not him, he will find fault with this person and get rid of him.  Since no one is him but him, and he is perfect in his eyes, he never makes a mistake - it is always someone else's fault if something goes wrong. 

Remember, he said he never prays to God for forgiveness because he never does anything wrong.  He really believes that and said it himself.  He creates chaos every day and will keep doing that as he has always done it.  Remember, he used to call newspapers with a fake name to tell newspapers what Trump was doing.  He had to be in the newspapers- he had to do it.  If he gets rid of some of his people, the next ones won't be any better in his eyes since they are not him.

A new President. Just next week...total of 120 days in.   

He honored pledges and agreements and placed people in positions to execute his agenda.

They suck.  They are dams/roadblocks   Or, they are 'incompetent' and are right now, as every night, wondering how they ever rose as far as they did....compared to "The Donald".

They simply cannot keep up with him, because they've been working at the accepted pace for 200+ years.

Don't know if the analogy would still hold, but President Trump needs up increase his RAM.

Priebus would not make a good air-traffic controller.   He's got to go.  At least out of that position.  Hand him a broom or mop.

He's the one who's supposed to coordinate/execute the POTUS' agenda.

Trump himself will now become Chief of Staff, Chief Strategist, Press Secretary as well as his other duties...

Nothing more embarrassing than getting caught shaking up your staff. 

[geronl]

Trump will announce if you want to work for him, you have to pony up major moolah! Every office is for sale!

"This is not a shake up, it's a shake down!"

Something tells me you've never actually been in a leadership position. Ever.

"The move comes at the urging of longtime friends and outside advisers..."

I'm assuming Ivanka, Jared and the immediate Royal Family doing the "urging".

It's a little early for the dance band on the Titanic to be warming up.  But for those of you who bought tickets to see the sinking... hold on to your stubs.

You'd be wrong.   

Matter of fact, it's all I've ever been.
