John Kelly’s time as President Donald Trump’s chief of staff may be coming to an end.

On Monday, author Gabriel Sherman reported that Ivanka Trump had been put in charge of finding a replacement for Kelly.

“Ivanka is the most worried about it. She’s trying to figure who replaces Kelly,” someone who has spoken with the president’s daughter told Sherman.

According to Sherman, Kelly’s days as Trump’s chief of staff “may finally have gone past the point of no return.”

“He wants to stay longer than Reince [Priebus],” an outside adviser explained to Sherman.

Kelly recently came under fire by the president’s defenders after he told lawmakers that Trump had “evolved” on the issue of a border wall.

“The more Kelly plays up that he’s being the adult in the room—that it’s basically combat duty and he’s serving the country—that kind of thing drives Trump nuts,” one Republican close to the White House explained.

Trump recently suggested to a friend that Kelly had overstayed his welcome.

1. So the Princess is in Charge of Hiring a new Court Jester

What Trump wants, a loyal clown, and for him to beg for acceptance

[TheDebbieDee]

64. So, by firing Kelly will the Trump admin be creating another

witness for SC Mueller? Another witness with an ax to grind?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. This really has become a kakistocracy

which is a system of government run by the worst, least qualified, or most unscrupulous citizens. Also described elsewhere on DU as a derptatorship.

[malaise]

4. That it is

but hat makes it even more frightening is that they believe they are competent.

[RKP5637]

5. It's a horrible commentary on the US election system/process that allows individuals like this cast

of fools and clowns to assume leadership in the US. One has to wonder, what could happen in the future. Imagine someone like Stephen Miller elected as president.

[oberliner]

3. So Raw Story paraphrases a Vanity Fair article, slaps on a BS title, and misrepresents the content

Typical.

[Kingofalldems]

8. Must be tough.

[LanternWaste]

16. Criticizing format over content is shallow.

Typical.


Six of one, half a dozen of the other...

[WhiskeyGrinder]

37. That's its business model.

[Leghorn21]

6. Mob. Mob. Mob. Mob.

[RandomAccess]

7. Will she be able to find anyone willing to do the job?

Kelly might be there longer than everyone wants him to be.

[smirkymonkey]

47. How would she know? She's just as clueless as he is.

God, what a train-wreck of an administration!

[The_Casual_Observer]

9. Ah shit, go ahead Ivanka you take the job! Who cares anymore.

[jrthin]

34. My sentiment exactly. nt

[tavernier]

10. NEXT UP: David Duke!

Would that really surprise anyone?

[RKP5637]

12. Hmmmm, maybe Stephen Miller, tRump seems to listen to him. That, would initiate a mass WH exit. n/t

[lunasun]

28. Nooooooooooo I wish she would axe him . Out Miller!

[shanny]

55. I'm hoping she will actually do something good

and push both Kelly and Miller out.

The press/pundits need to keep talking up the "staff leads tRump around by the nose" meme.

[imanamerican63]

11. She should go to Jared's!

[RKP5637]

13. ...

[withoutapaddle]

35. !

[OnDoutside]

14. Stormy Daniels has worked well with him before....pick Stormy !!!

[Blue_true]

15. Plus, she is open to all ideas from Trump, plus other stuff. nt

[Mr. Ected]

19. Stormy Daniels for Chief of Stuff!

[ProudLib72]

38. How would Hope feel about that?

Inadequate most likely. She doesn't possess Stormy's kind of assets.

[madaboutharry]

17. This is a travesty.

Let me first say that I think John Kelly is a bad guy. I think he is a sexist and a racist just like Trump. But what this is about is the fact that the unqualified mediocre and no nothing daughter of the president is choosing the White House Chief of Staff, as if she has a fucking clue what is required to run the Oval Office.

The Trump gangster family have made a mockery of our democracy and have degraded the Office of the Presidency. It is sickening.

[RKP5637]

18. We have sunk so low. If an ass like Trump and his herd can be put in office, imagine how much worse

it could be down the road.

[USALiberal]

20. LOL, How did the Washington Post miss a story like this??? 100% pure BS! nt

[RKP5637]

22. Quite a few are reporting on it ... don't know if it's an original story respun or what ...

Put this in a Google search and a lot comes up >>> ivanka trump to replace john kelley

[Mike Nelson]

21. I apologize in advance for this, but...

...she looks so weird. The neck... the eyes... so odd...

[RKP5637]

23. Yeah! This is supposed to be a photo from when she was on the Dr. Oz show or something. n/t

[JI7]

46. That's what plastic surgery does and gets worse as one gets older

[smirkymonkey]

48. I know. What is it with all members of the Trump family and that vacant look with their mouths

gaping open like drooling idiots? They all look completely baffled anytime somebody asks them a simple question. This family makes the Kardashians look like they have their shit together.

[RKP5637]

51. Totally inbred!!! n/t

[flotsam]

24. Yes-the family connected purse designer...

...is fully qualified to pass judgement ON A FOUR STAR MARINE GENERAL.

[shanny]

56. ...who is also a blatant effing racist pig.

But, I take your point.

[Pachamama]

25. Comrade Shithole can only handle one General in the room giving orders - himself

Not that the Giant Terd could even have made it in the military beyond an enlisted before being fragged. That "Art of the Deal" bullshit would have been more like "The Art of being Hated"...

But he can't handle anyone else other than him calling the shots. And Ivanka and Jared and the rest of the sycophants in the White House couldn't handle Kelly taking charge. So it doesn't surprise me if Kelly's days are numbered and its Ivanka leading the way.

[lunasun]

26. What a f'n circus

[lindysalsagal]

27. She's prolly got a great hairdresser or manicurist in mind.

[Rollo]

32. More likely, Ted Nugent!

[RKP5637]

33. How about ...

[TeamPooka]

29. At this rate he will have 8 CoS in 4 years. 6 Months each

[VMA131Marine]

30. If you thought things were bad with Kelly watch...

They will get worse.

[Irish_Dem]

31. "Shes trying to figure who replaces Kelly." God help us.

[RKP5637]

36. Here we go ...

[Irish_Dem]

39. Oh, no. He's a weasel. nt

[smirkymonkey]

49. That is one guy I want to see fail spectacularly.

I can't imagine that he actually has anybody on his side. Even if you agree with his warped ideas, he's so unlikable I am surprised that he doesn't get daily wedgies by the White House staff.

[RKP5637]

50. He's a really creepy snarky snot!!! n/t

[pansypoo53219]

57. really needs to be bitchslapped into the 21st c.

[RKP5637]

59. Yeah!!! n/t

[GaYellowDawg]

62. He's just a thoroughly awful person.

And you can tell he thinks he's brilliant, when he's average as grits.

There ought to be a phrase for someone who has no moral compass while simultaneously epitomizing Dunning-Kruger effect and clinical narcissism. Call it, I don't know, Trumpathology. Miller's got it.

[Orange Free State]

41. Perfect candidate would be

Steve Bannon! I think he ain’t working right now. 😄

[Irish_Dem]

44. I think they will have to start recycling the idiots who work for them.

Pretty soon no one will touch the Trumps with a ten ft pole.

[ProudLib72]

40. I'm awarding Kelly the coveted....

[RKP5637]

43. Excellent!!! n/t

[JI7]

42. I might have felt some sympathy if he wasn't such a racist

But i feel none

[Orange Free State]

45. He has a problem when

Anyone else gets either credit or attention. The minute they do, they are out the door. Never grew up, has some of the worst traits of Peter Pan and Mussolini.

52. Loyalty demanded to Trump... not from Trump

[RKP5637]

54. He's so gross and evil! n/t

[no_hypocrisy]

58. Don't tell me, let me guess . . .

JARED ! ! !

[RKP5637]

61. Yep, might as well keep crime concentrated in the gangsta family. n/t

[Honeycombe8]

60. I think Kelly (and the Sec of State) were always going to leave at end of the year or thereabouts.

I suspect they're still around because there aren't replacements yet.

[NCjack]

63. And the new Chief of Staff will be:

ex-Gov. Chris Christi. (His wife will be so proud.)
