Trump eyes new chief of staff; House Leader on short list

[HAB911]

President Trump is considering a broad shakeup of his White House that could include the replacement of White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus and the departure of chief strategist Steve Bannon, aides and advisers tell us.

A top aide to Trump said he's contemplating major changes, but that the situation is very fluid and the timing uncertain: "Things are happening, but it's very unclear the president's willing to pull that trigger."

1. Can the President fire the House Leader?

I didn't think that was possible.

2. House leader to replace cheif of staff

Insiders tell me that the possibilities for chief of staff include:

House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), who developed a bond with Trump as one of the earlier congressional leaders to support him, and remains a confidant.

3. Mostly, he wants a better looking guy in the job

He likes to be surrounded by good looking guys. Reince's hairline and meager physical stature just makes the tough political times even worse.

4. Unfortunately, the inside-D.C. "competent" crew will help him achieve his horrible goals.

When in doubt, the money goes on the Goldman Sachs dude.
