White House staff putting out ‘400 fires’ a day as Priebus and Flynn look like they might get the boot

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 Ruddy—and Trump confidant—made a TV appearance where he chided Priebus for his work so far.

“The White House is showing not the amount of order that we need to see. I think there’s a lot of weakness coming out of the chief of staff,” Ruddy said on CNN. Politico also reports that aides have started making suggestions for possible replacements.

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.

Teflon Ron became Teflon Don.
