'It's gotten embarrassing': Trump desperate to fire Reince Priebus -- but no one wants the job

Reince Priebus remains White House chief of staff in large part because no one else wants the job.

A dozen White House officials and advisers told Politico that President Donald Trump wants to replace Priebus and has been talking to outside advisers about possible replacements, but he continues to hold onto his position. “It’s basically decided that Reince is gone,” a friend of the president told the website. “It’s just a matter of who replaces him and when.”

Priebus tries to maintain control within the White House by holding daily meetings at 8 a.m., running in and out of other meetings throughout the day to keep an eye on his colleagues, and working late into the night, sometimes reviewing posts about himself on Twitter and asking other officials to push back.

Trump praises Priebus to his face, but he’s critical of him with others within the White House and has been asking for advice on a replacement.

“You’d think he’d just do the same thing as (former communications director Mike) Dubke and see the writing on the wall and leave,” said one senior White House aide. “It’s gotten embarrassing.”

1. Can't Jared add that to his duties?

[rurallib]

7. he'll check with Kislyak and get back to us.

[SunSeeker]

10. LOL Trump should just hire Kislyak and be done with it.

[spanone]

2. probably same for FBI director....no one will take the loyalty to donald pledge

[gordianot]

3. It is hard to imagine what self depreciating toad is compatible with Trump.

When runners up include Ghouliani and Christie as Toads go Trump is lucky to have Priebus.

[Scarsdale]

12. Little Rancid

must be taking human growth hormone. From the back, I see his head is growing right through his hair!!

[patricia92243]

4. I predict Christy. His waiting around for Trump to pick him for

something- anything - will finally pay off.

[Scarsdale]

13. $arah PayMe

is desperately looking for work, but it has to be EASY.

[Lotusflower70]

27. Lol

I thought of her too. Omg! She is an idiot, she would fit right in.

[lpbk2713]

5. Hannity might be looking for work soon.

[Hortensis]

6. Koch and Robert Mercer operatives hold most WH positions.

Rump may be recalcitrant because he wants some "loyal" idiot who company he enjoyed in that role, but no doubt those puppeteers are working very hard to get their man in that critical position.

[SHRED]

8. No one wanting the job is laughable until you realize...

... there are some very critical positions in the State Department and elsewhere still open leaving our country weaker because of it.

Not a laughing matter.

[Bucky]

9. Yep

We are a little bit past "living in interesting times" now

[Scarsdale]

14. tRump

is fortunate that he is a republican. If he were a democrat the entire gop would be hounding him, demanding "hearings".

[Lil Missy]

24. omg, a Democrat would have been guilty without an investigation and drawn and quartered by now.

[lpbk2713]

26. And the MSM would be gathered outside his/her bedroom window.

With torches and pitchforks.

[keithbvadu2]

16. Trump has left America vulnerable to attack

https://www.democraticunderground.com/10029160497

Many, many job openings going unfilled

[exboyfil]

11. Steve Bannon

Reince should have never agreed to the split in the position. He is nothing more than a pinata.

[onenote]

15. Barron is supposed to be coming to DC soon

Maybe he can be Chief of Staff. Keep in the family.

Or maybe Tiffany could put off law school for a while.

[dhill926]

17. jesus what a shit show....

[ProudMNDemocrat]

18. Isn't Ted Nugent available?????

Talk about a disaster? I am both loving and hating what is happening right now.

Loving the incompetence, the chaos within the Trump Administration. Hating the effects it is having on this country as a whole as the rest of the world laughs at us, making the US look weak.

Satisfied now, Trump voters?

[IronLionZion]

19. Just outsource it to the Russians

and call it a day. Why bother hiding it anymore

[denvine]

20. "It's gotten embarrassing"

Seriously? It's been embarrassing since day one!

[Vinca]

21. There's always Palin. ROFL. Dumb and dumber.

[DFW]

22. Oh, hell, I'd volunteer

Trouble is, I estimate MY shelf life in minutes.......

[zipplewrath]

31. Great Idea

Democrats should be approaching him for the job. They could do no worse and they could do the country a favor. A bit of a Trojan Horse I'll admit, but at some point someone has to step forward and server for the good of the country.

[onecent]

23. Where is Jared and Ivanka????? Not at the Whitehouse I don't suppose!!!!

[dembotoz]

25. rinse penis has strong ties to the traditional gop

harder to replace than it looks if he want to avoid more defections from the traditional gop base

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

28. Priebus should just quit and let them figure out what to do

without a Chief of Staff. President Cofveve can handle that himself, can't he? Reince (who names their kid "Reince"??) should just bail before things get even worse in that snake pit.

[Sugar Smack]

30. That was beautiful!

[Sugar Smack]

29. "It's gotten embarrassing" happened AGES ago, idiot WH "advisers".

Glad you finally showed up to the fucking party.

[flibbitygiblets]

32. With a name that's an anagram for Penis Rice-A-Roni...

...well almost...

anyway, that's guy's learned to block feelings like embarrassment many moons ago.

[Ilsa]

33. Why doesn't kelly anne conjob take the position?

It'll be fun watching her age twice as fast because of how difficult trump makes everything.

[ThoughtCriminal]

34. Hey I'll take the job!

It would only last a day at best, but boy what a day that would be!

[miyazaki]

35. Ha. I was gonna say that, and see how fast I get fired.

I'd meet the press with a pint in one hand and a smoke in the other.
