Former White House chief of staff Reince Priebus said the Trump administration during his tenure was even more chaotic than what was reported, according to an upcoming book.

“Take everything you’ve heard and multiply it by 50,” Priebus said, according to an excerpt from the book “The Gatekeepers: How the White House Chiefs of Staff Define Every Presidency.”

Priebus, who left the White House last summer, said Attorney General Jeff Sessions twice tried to resign, but he convinced Sessions otherwise, according to excerpts published by The Associated Press.

“I said, ‘You cannot resign. It’s not possible. We are going to talk about this right now,’” Priebus recalled telling Sessions.

Priebus also said he didn’t support Trump picking a fight over the crowd size at his inauguration, which was smaller than former President Obama’s. However, Priebus ultimately relented, saying it wasn’t worth “going to go to war over” with Trump.

1. Perhaps It Was Worth Going To War Over, Rincy

Then maybe the whole maladministration wouldn't have started on the wrong foot by lying about something so obviously narcissistic and unimportant.

2. What frightens me about the inauguration numbers lie is that

the Con seemed to believe that just by declaring he had bigger numbers meant everyone would have to accept his lie as gospel. That is narcissism on steroids - and big men went along with it.

3. Sean Spicer's shocking first press briefing was not

Only shocking, but a bit scary as well. I think part of it was to see if they could, put the press in their place and do the administration's bidding for them.
I thank God, we have a free press that serve the Constitution and not the Trump administration.

4. But it was such a stupid lie

I mean everyone knew it was a lie.

The media's response to the Con and his goons shouts of 'fake news' should still be - 'you want to see fake news - watch this' with Obama's inauguration numbers side by side with the Con's. Then they should show all the other lies.

5. Now Preibus Thinks It's A Problem

But, it wasn't worth arguing about at the time, when OBVIOUSLY it was worth arguing about, or he would not have an issue with it today.

He's talking out of both sides of his mouth and trying to distance himself from this trainwreck, but he's one of the people who put pennies on the track.

7. He has a book to sell

before he heads into the arms of some lobbyist.

6. Where'd he come from? Is Priebus trying to up his book sales?

That whiny loser can just stay back in his unknown, unremembered, cloud of obscurity, the fucker. Priebus was complicit in all of the dirty tricks and treason during Trump's campaign. Mark my words. And the sleaze-bag fake Christian helped to destroy Wisconsin before that.

8. Of course

He's hawking his book
