(19,863 posts)President Donald Trump's chief of staff John Kelly may be out of his job soon as a result of a conflict with first lady Melania Trump and other people in the White House, seven sources have told NBC News.
Nick Ayers, Vice President Mike Pence's chief of staff, is being considered for the job among other candidates, three of the sources told NBC.
NBC's report followed a slew of news that Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen may be on her way out, too.
The secretary's potential forthcoming departure was reported a week after the midterm elections and days after the forced resignation of Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

Kelly as the "adult in the room" was always a myth. He's a bigot who hurt citizens -- including veterans and military widows -- acted as a supplicant to an aspiring autocrat, and disgraced our country.
