Trump being told he doesn't need a communications director or chief of staff
https://www.cnn.com/2018/03/29/politics/trump-staffing/index.html
(CNN)Several of President Donald Trump's outside advisers have told him over the past week he requires neither a chief of staff nor a communications director, at least in the traditional definition of those jobs, according to a person familiar with the conversations.
Trump has absorbed the advice, but offered little indication whether he's interested in taking it, the person said. He's been warned by other confidants that it's impossible to run the West Wing without a chief of staff.
There are no signs Trump is ready to dismiss top aide John Kelly. But the option of running his White House without a chief of staff has been planted in Trump's mind, and he's not rejected it outright, the person said.

(6,225 posts)is it even remotely possible (or remotely probable) that they're trying to get him to totally muck up the works so he'll be out the door faster?

(60,010 posts)God bless the morons who encourage him by adding more and more kindling to the bonfire of his vanity.
He will instantly be mired in processes and decisions that will overwhelm him. This could be a good thing.
Trump has always fantasized of ruling like a king, and indeed we have seen many glimpses that prove that.
Meanwhile, Mueller just keeps plugging away. And he has MORE tapes now, proving conspiracy against the USA.
