Who Will Trump Pick as His New Chief of Staff?

Priebus? He's outa there, much to the pleasure of Steve Bannon. But, the'll need a new Chief of Staff.

Reply with your suggestions for the appointment.

I recommend David Duke. He's a well-spoken sort of chap, and would fit right in.

My bet IF Priebus goes: Con Way. She's already an insider - loyal and ruthless - and he trusts her. dalton99a Feb 2017 #13

The position involves too much public-facing for him. He prefers to work in the background, in darkened rooms lit only by Internet porn.

Employment application for White House Chief of Staff position:

1. List the groups of people you hate and list them in order of degree of hate.

2. Provide references to support your history showing hate for said groups.

3. List past employment duties that included belittling people with less power than you.

She's really good with words and her proximity to Mother Russia would make her an excellent courier for the WH.
