White House legislative affairs director Marc Short is planning on leaving his job ahead of the 2018 midterms, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Sources told the Journal on Thursday that Short is planning on departing the White House this summer, citing “diminishing returns” on getting President Trump’s legislative goals achieved in Congress.

When the Journal asked Short for comment, he replied, “There are so many leaks in this building.”

The New York Times’ Maggie Haberman and The Washington Post’s Josh Dawsey also both tweeted Thursday that White House officials told them that Short will leave ahead of the November elections.

1. Yay!

The fewer people T has doing his work, the better. It's not like he's going to do anything but tweet and watch TV.

6. So, I don't understand. His staff is miniscule (both personnel and personal) and no-one communicates

with it. Someone, somewhere is pulling the wires. Even if dump were the most competent ass-hole in the universe, he doesn't have enough time to destroy as much as he has already. Somebody is leading this shit-show. His cabinet are know/do-nothings. Whatever staff have been hired into various agencies/departments are probably afraid to say anything.

Who is in charge? Not dump or his dimwit sons. Not pretty ivanka (mother/daughter/girlfriend.)

Where are the Koch's recently? Are they marshaling their rw hordes for the mid-terms?

Where are the Mercer's recently? Murdoch?

Putin- hmm - pretty active.

And then, my big question is - where is the US military command-and-control structure on all of this? Since the exec/just/cong branches have given up responsibility, is there any hope for sanity in some professionally-trained officers? Strange. love.

2. Good

Go back and crawl under the pile of cow shit you slithered out from under.

3. "diminishing returns" means "Forget the Trump agenda after November."

7. Poor Rachel....

yet another name for "the wall", or is it "the walls" now. This number of people resigning, being fired, being indicted, quitting is unprecedented during an entire administration. Trump has done it in just a little over two years! Something else "The Donald" is number one at.
