The scheduling seems to have not been too well coordinated for the G20 trip?
Would that be the responsibility of the Chief of Staff?

The person who would be running it is called the Assistant to the President and Director of Scheduling and Advance, but nobody is listed as holding that position. The Deputy Assistant to the President and Director of Advance is George Gigicos. The Deputy Assistant to the President and Director of Scheduling is also an unfilled position.
That could be part of the problem...

Only the KGOP would see him as someone fit for command. Sad.

From the Desk of Reince Priebus
For the G20 Conference:
X Arrange flight on Air Force One
X Make sure POTUS phone not enabled for international calling
X Tell POTUS phone enabled for international calling
X Arrange with Polish authorities for enthusiastic crowd
X Supply confederate flag for crowd (check with Bannon)
Make hotel reservations
Let's see: did I miss anything?

No body knows who is supposed to do what, AND everybody wants to do as little as possible. Office hours and staff meetings always canceled, key figures are either incompetent or else vying for attention from higher ups.
naturally any good staff quit as soon as they could.
