Donald Trump is a man who likes conflict. He sees life, and politics, as a survival of the fittest. He has built a senior White House team designed to foment competition and conflict, with his four top aides forever fighting for his ear.

The dynamic between that quartet and Trump sits at the heart of understanding why the president does what he does and when. Aides rise in his estimation, then fall almost by the day. Trump seems to keep a running list in his head of who's up and who's down among his top advisers.

So why not keep our own running list — updated weekly — of who's the most powerful aide in Trumpworld at the moment?

That's exactly what I'm going to do. Today I unveil the White House Power Rankings, the definitive weekly guide to who's hot and who's not among the four top advisers in the Trump White House. Each week the power rankings will update based on a carefully-crafted formula — so, yes, this is my assessment based on my own reading of White House tea leaves — that includes what Trump has said about each, their influence on his policy (and tweets), their TV appearances and the media coverage of them.

Before we get to the inaugural rankings, let's meet the players!

1. Are the Cleveland Browns still at the bottom?

2. Oh, man, Kellyanne looks terrible. There isn't a photo of her anymore, that shows anything different

DANG. NO angle or lighting or makeup or even the occasional use of a hairbrush seems to help anymore.

There's an old adage that comes to mind: As you age, you get the face you deserve.

3. She's lucky she has Bannon there right next to her.

Anyone would look better compared to that thing.

4. He needs to add Trump and Miller into the mix, to give a more rounded view

of who is where. Perhaps Rupert Murdoch too.

Vlad, of course, permanently hold the #0 slot.
