Priebus has been quiet lately. I saw an article yesterday with headline that Priebus was in too deep.

Jared Kushner Emerges as Trump’s True Believer

Far from being a moderating influence on his father-in-law, Kushner has embraced his inner Bannon.

It was a balmy Saturday evening at Mar-a-Lago, and for the second consecutive weekend in his month-long presidency, Donald Trump had retreated to his Palm Beach “Winter White House” to clear his head, take some meetings, and leave behind him the chaos of the swamp, and his rapidly cannibalistic West Wing. He was joined by Shinzo Abe, the Japanese prime minister, as well as various top aides.



.......But a lot can happen within Trumpworld in a single week. While the president was hosting Abe in Mar-a-Lago, Priebus’s fortune already seemed to be on the decline. Christopher Ruddy, the Newsmax Media C.E.O. and Trump pal who spent an evening with the president at Mar-a-Lago, told CNN on Sunday that “there’s a lot of weakness coming out of the chief of staff.” (Ruddy would later issue a tweet backtracking.) A source close to the president, who was not there but had knowledge of the situation, told me that Trump was going around tables during dinner asking guests what he should do about Priebus and Spicer—a crowdsourcing game he reportedly played when he was deciding which candidate to choose for vice president, and again, when picking who he would nominate as secretary of state. (A White House spokesperson did not immediately respond to request for comment.)

While everyone expected turmoil within Trump’s White House, few expected the velocity of the chaos. As Priebus seemingly swoons, another Trump aide appears to be soaring. As recently as a few weeks ago, Trump’s son-in-law and adviser, Jared Kushner, appeared frustrated in the West Wing. As I reported at the time, Kusher was “fucking furious” after a Trump tweet scuttled a crucial meeting he had been arranging with Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto. Weeks later, as he prepares to take a central role in the meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Kushner seems renewed, his power intact. To those who know him and interact with him, he is no longer perceived as the quiet, moderating force in his father-in-law’s ear, but rather a true believer who remains in lock step with Bannon and Miller and intent on pushing through their White House agenda.........................................
