President Trump is increasingly dissatisfied with White House chief of staff John Kelly and plans to interview possible replacements for him, according to Vanity Fair.
A Republican close to the White House told the magazine that Trump is eager to implement a "clean reset" of White House staff in the coming weeks. Trump could begin interviewing candidates starting this weekend at his Mar-a-Lago club, the report says.
Trump is going for a clean reset, but he needs to do it in a way thats systemic so it doesnt look like its chaos, one unnamed Republican told the website.

Even before he decided to launch a trade war and roll the nuclear dice by agreeing in the course of a West Wing afternoon to a risky sit-down with Kim Jong Un, Donald Trump was telling friends he was tired of being reined in. Im doing great, but Im getting all these bad headlines, Trump told a friend recently. A Republican in frequent contact with the White House told me Trump is frustrated by all these people telling him what to do.
With the departures of Hope Hicks and Gary Cohn, the Trump presidency is entering a new phaseone in which Trump is feeling liberated to act on his impulses. Trump is in command. Hes been in the job more than a year now. He knows how the levers of power work. He doesnt give a fuck, the Republican said. Trumps decision to circumvent the policy process and impose tariffs on imported steel and aluminum reflects his emboldened desire to follow his impulses and defy his advisers. It was like a fuck-you to Kelly, a Trump friend said. Trump is red-hot about Kelly trying to control him.
According to five Republicans close to the White House, Trump has diagnosed the problem as having the wrong team around him and is looking to replace his senior staff in the coming weeks. Trump is going for a clean reset, but he needs to do it in a way thats systemic so it doesnt look like its chaos, one Republican said.
Sources said that the first officials to go will be Chief of Staff John Kelly and National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster, both of whom Trump has clashed with for months. On Tuesday, Trump met with John Bolton in the Oval Office. When he plans to visit Mar-a-Lago next weekend, Trump is expected to interview more candidates for both positions, according to two sources. Hes going for a clean slate, one source said. Cohn had been lobbying to replace Kelly as chief, two sources said, and quit when he didnt get the job. Trump laughed at Gary when he brought it up, one outside adviser to the White House said. (The White House declined to comment.)................................
