Trump denies that he's having trouble finding a chief of staff

Source: Politico

President Donald Trump insisted on Tuesday that he's having no trouble finding a new chief of staff, despite having already burned through two such top aides and being turned down by his reported first choice.

“Fake News has it purposely wrong. Many, over ten, are vying for and wanting the White House Chief of Staff position. Why wouldn’t someone want one of the truly great and meaningful jobs in Washington,” Trump wrote in a tweet. “Please report news correctly. Thank you!”

Trump’s rebuttals come as his current chief of staff, John Kelly, is set to depart the White House at the end of the month without a clear replacement. The president’s rumored top pick, vice presidential chief of staff Nick Ayers, turned the job down in favor of working for a PAC to support the administration.

Trump is also said to have looked at Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney, who was considered to be angling for the job at one point but who may now have his eye on leading the Commerce Department; Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, who has said he’s happy in his current post; conservative firebrand Rep. Mark Meadows, who said Monday he would be “honored” to take the role; and New York Yankees President Randy Levine, who said Monday that rumors of his consideration had come out of left field.

for those with the skill...

I perceive idiot's "gaze" - as in, "I'm lookin' at you" - to ne much like that of the Eye of Mordor now with everyone ducking to avoid it when it scans their general area.

I'm sure someone can put together a composite of that... I don't have the siftware or the skill to make such an image. Thanks in advance.

to tongue Trumps ass rather the issue is finding an eager, intelligent and experienced person that wants to tongue his ass regardless of the taint it might leave behind that no amount of toothpaste will ever remove.
