Trump tweets General Kelly replaces Priebus

President's word and decision rules. Simple as that.

Simple as that. Sure if you are a monarchist or a Tzarist or a Stalinist. Yeah simple as that.

So...you contend that all the people he put on his team after the election were really his enemies and he has some shadow cabinet waiting in the wings to take over and save the day?

That's adorable.

What the hell is he playing it!!

He cannot fill his senior positions, all of this shifting about is just stupid.

Sure Trump rage tweets and pops off at the mouth spontaneously and all that, but when it comes to the big moves such as firing staff you can bet it is a very calculated move.

Bout time.....Preibus was always one of those "keep your friends close but keep your enemies even closer" kind of appointments. He never was a dedicated Trump person or interested in advancing Trump's agenda. Not like he helped smooth things with the Republicans in Congress, which was what he was supposed to do. I'm sure he was a leaker to the press.

Trump should stiff the GOP by going centerist with proposals that the Dems would be silly not to vote for. Imagine the Republicans, while in control of both Houses, not be able to pass anything while Trump just collects votes from the middle of each side. He could pull enough from both parties to make the extreme wings irrelevant. It's not like he's a dyed in the wool GOP'er. It will be interesting to see what happens from here.
