Axios is a new media company started in 2017 by the cofounder and some other employees of The Hill.

President Trump is considering a broad shakeup of his White House that could include the replacement of White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus and the departure of chief strategist Steve Bannon, aides and advisers tell us.

A top aide to Trump said he's contemplating major changes, but that the situation is very fluid and the timing uncertain: "Things are happening, but it's very unclear the president's willing to pull that trigger."

The top aide — along with many other Trump officials, advisers and friends — told us that it seems to be more a question of "when" not "whether" change will come: "The tension, the exhaustion, the raw nerves have gotten much harder to disguise.

This administration is being held together by a decade old roll of scotch tape. God forbid we should be pulled into another war with this carnival act running the show.

Is he going to have all the candidates complete a product design and sales task first though?

I cannot even imagine the level of spin Spicer would have to resort to to explain how this is all fine. He has to be half hoping for a mercy firing at this point.

He was also a fantastic liar, whereas Trump might as well be a walking pile of bullshit.

Yep, as evil as he was, he was still beyond formidable. Trump is just...

If Bannon is ousted, then Breitbart will likely turn on Trump and things will become even more unbelievable.

Judging by the comments on the Syria articles today, that's already happening. Breitbart is awash with buyer's remorse and The_Donald basically has more [removed] posts than remaining ones.

Now what's the next step in your master plan?
He should have all the possible choices fight to the death on the White House lawn to decide who gets the position. Probably a cleaner more straight forward than the convoluted bickering and bull shitting we currently have.
 
It's pretty much a guarantee.

It makes me wonder what that'll mean for the whole alt-right movement as Breitbart and Bannon are critical figures in rise of the their rise as well as Trump's. So, if they flip then where exactly does the Trump admin go? Who do they pander to?

Nice, he might get his approval rating under 30 next week.
 
Constant turnover and chaos in this guys administrations. First his campaign staff and now his cabinet. Trump couldnt run a damn Dairy Queen.

Doesn't he hate Paul Ryan?

I just made this mistake IRL the other day. The speaker and the maj leader are different positions.

Yes, Speaker of the House runs the entire House of Representatives, and House Majority leader is just the leader of the majority.

There is this difference because the Constution mandates a Speaker of the House while the other titles are Parliamentary.

"Don't believe the stories of infighting"...Is there any time you'd be wrong to assume the opposite of a Trump tweet?
