“TRUMP IS GOING FOR A CLEAN RESET”: FUMING IN THE WEST WING, TRUMP PREPARES TO DEFENESTRATE CUCK ALLIES AND GO FULL MAGA

The president will meet with potential chief-of-staff candidates at Mar-a-Lago next weekend. McMaster is likely next to go. Then Jivanka.

Even before he decided to launch a trade war and roll the nuclear dice by agreeing in the course of a West Wing afternoon to a risky sit-down with Kim Jong Un, Donald Trump was telling friends he was tired of being reined in. “I’m doing great, but I’m getting all these bad headlines,” Trump told a friend recently. A Republican in frequent contact with the White House told me Trump is “frustrated by all these people telling him what to do.”

With the departures of Hope Hicks and Gary Cohn, the Trump presidency is entering a new phase—one in which Trump is feeling liberated to act on his impulses. “Trump is in command. He’s been in the job more than a year now. He knows how the levers of power work. He doesn’t give a fuck,” the Republican said. Trump’s decision to circumvent the policy process and impose tariffs on imported steel and aluminum reflects his emboldened desire to follow his impulses and defy his advisers. “It was like a fuck-you to Kelly,” a Trump friend said. “Trump is red-hot about Kelly trying to control him.”

According to five Republicans close to the White House, Trump has diagnosed the problem as having the wrong team around him and is looking to replace his senior staff in the coming weeks. “Trump is going for a clean reset, but he needs to do it in a way that’s systemic so it doesn’t look like it’s chaos,” one Republican said.

Sources said that the first officials to go will be Chief of Staff John Kelly and National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster, both of whom Trump has clashed with for months. On Tuesday, Trump met with John Bolton in the Oval Office. When he plans to visit Mar-a-Lago this weekend, Trump is expected to interview more candidates for both positions, according to two sources. “He’s going for a clean slate,” one source said. Cohn had been lobbying to replace Kelly as chief, two sources said, and quit when he didn’t get the job. “Trump laughed at Gary when he brought it up,” one outside adviser to the White House said. (The White House declined to comment.)

16. A well Orlyed machine. Orly Taitz for WH councel...Its time.

A proto-Russian operative? She ALL for Trump. She has a website too. I did not post the link, but its active.

Orly Taitz
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Orly Taitz (born August 30, 1960)[8] is a Moldovan-American political conspiracy theorist. A dentist, lawyer,[9] and former real estate agent,[10][11] Taitz was a figure in the "birther" movement, which promoted the conspiracy theory that Barack Obama was not a natural-born citizen eligible to serve as President of the United States. Taitz also promotes a number of other conspiracy theories both related and unrelated to Obama. Taitz has initiated a number of lawsuits on behalf of the "birther" movement; all were dismissed by the courts, and on one occasion Taitz was ordered to pay $20,000 as a sanction for misconduct in filing frivolous claims. Taitz has unsuccessfully run for statewide office in California three times.

Orly Taitz was born to a Jewish family in Chișinău, Moldavian SSR, in the Soviet Union (present-day Moldova).[7] Both of her parents were science teachers.[12] In 1981, Taitz immigrated to Israel,[1] where she obtained a dentistry degree at Hebrew University.[1] In 1987, she met Yosef Taitz who proposed four months later. Taitz immigrated to the United States in May 1987, marrying the Latvian-born[12] Yosef in Las Vegas.[7] Taitz became a naturalized United States citizen in 1992.[2][13] She received her law degree from Taft Law School and was admitted to practice law in California in December 2002.[12][14]

Taitz lives in Laguna Niguel, California,[15] and owns dental practices in nearby Mission Viejo and Rancho Santa Margarita.[7] She has three sons,[7] holds a second degree black belt in Taekwondo, and speaks five languages: English, Hebrew, Romanian, Russian and Spanish.[16][17]

Before her national news exposure, Taitz was quoted in The Orange County Register in 2006 supporting Israeli military actions against Hamas and Hezbollah,[18] and downplaying the impact of the espionage trial of two American Israel Public Affairs Committee staffers.[19] (Charges against both were subsequently dropped.)[20] Taitz has also said that she lost relatives in the Holocaust and that her grandmother witnessed the Kishinev pogrom.[16][21]

Taitz's other claims[edit]
Taitz has also supported a number of other theories not directly related to Obama, including:

Goldman Sachs runs the United States Treasury.[23]
Baxter International has developed a bird flu vaccine that kills people.[23]
Representative Alcee Hastings and the House of Representatives are planning to build at least six labor camps.[23]
Hugo Chávez owns the software that runs American voting machines,[21]
FactCheck is untrustworthy because of its links to the Annenberg Foundation.[21]
Taitz has also advocated numerous Internet-related theories, including PayPal attacks, the deletion of her Wikipedia entry, and Google's flagging her webpage as an attack site and suppressing search results for her name.[21]

Taitz has stated that 2016 Republican presidential candidates Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, and Bobby Jindal were not natural-born citizens and therefore were ineligible for the office they sought.[27][28]

3. The Stormy Daniels story is becoming the Lewinsky scandal and we know the media loves

Those type of stories more. Going full MAGA will alienate more people. The damage has been done. He’s not going to gain new followers. He is a failure as POTUS.

6. Do it...dickwad.

Lets see how that "systemic, clean resent" firings works out for you.

I'm not a fan of Kelly, be he was hired to bring order to the chaos, now looks like he's going to be fire for doing the job he was hired to do.

[Orange Free State]

7. Its like watching the Cleveland Browns

They keep firing head coaches, keep having high draft picks, but the chaos and losing continues, all the while trying to convince fans that things are getting better when the most casual observer can see they are not.

[madinmaryland]

10. Yet they keep the head coach that has won only one game in two years.

Go figure.

8. Be a really good time to check the sprinkler system on the Reichstag...err...Capitol Building.

9. re Jared. The White House is trying to fluff him up again.

Unfortunate choice of words.

[NastyRiffraff]

11. Suddenly, he's worried about looking like "it's chaos"?

Just when we got used to all that chaos.

[Orange Free State]

12. Why doesnt someone tell him

That it looks like chaos because it IS chaos.

13. Its going to be a clusterfuck no matter what he does.

It’s how he lives

14. Trump's cleaning house next weekend.

"...Trump has diagnosed the problem as having the wrong team around him and is looking to replace his senior staff in the coming weeks. “Trump is going for a clean reset, but he needs to do it in a way that’s systemic so it doesn’t look like it’s chaos,” one Republican said. ..."

Trump's 'systemic' means of cleaning house is designed to camouflage the fact that he's getting rid of all those people he feels are "not loyal enough to him".

In addition to the names mentioned in the OP, i.e. Kelly and McMasters, my money is on:

Jeff Sessions, Attorney General, Gone.

Rod J. Rosenstein, Deputy Attorney General, Gone

Andrew McCabe, FBI Deputy Director, Gone

My guess of some of those he considers suitable replacements will be: Chris Christie, Rudy Juliani, Kelly Anne Conway, and Devin Nunez
