As the Trump administration enters its third tumultuous week, prominent White House staffers are reportedly worried about losing their standing and even their jobs.
The website Axios reports that the President and his confidants are sending cryptic signals that suggest chief of staff Reince Priebus and national security adviser Mike Flynn might be in danger of losing their positions.
In one telling sign, Newsmax CEO Chris Ruddyand Trump confidantmade a TV appearance where he chided Priebus for his work so far.

I'm damned sick of this slappy bitch being able to dodge every legitimate issue tossed at him. We think "this is it, THIS is what's going to bring the fucker down!!!" Next thing you know, he's President.
