He's a strong leader known for his ability to fire people! Or perhaps were seeing his whimpy side?

He'll probably start another campaign of pissy tweets and hope Priebus resigns.

wouldn't be The Mooch, would they? Who tried to get the FBI to investigate Priebus for leaking his publicly-available financials?

Makes sense. He's much more Dump's style (bullying, thuggish, stupid) than Priebus.

On edit: The above is my opinion only; there's no proof as yet of plans to make Moochie CoS. However, the part about the style is demonstrably true!

Former Russian Ambassador to the United States, Sergey Ivanovich Kislyak.

Just rumors, but from my outstanding sources with links to the Trump administration. And, I'll have you know, I have the best sources. Tremendous sources, believe me.

Sessions and Priebus were there from the beginning for Trump. They know where the skeletons are buried. I wouldn't cross them if I were you Mr. Trump. Payback is hell.

Priebus is disposable, but he is one of the last ties to establishment Republicans Trump has. If Trump cans Priebus and Sessions he'll lose even more of his party.

here with t-rump. Probably not.

t-rump is going for total control of everything and he does not care about party affiliation. Sure, the GOP worked with him to steal the election, and sure the GOPs was greatly compensated for that, but now, t-rump is power hungry, and he will fuck everyone who gets in his way. So yeah, RP is gone.

He's just waiting for his producers to tell him when to do it and who to say it to.

How tight is Priebus with the Russians and the Mercers again?

Flynn, Sessions, Priebus, Puzder, Spicer - failures all.

But don't worry, DeVos, Rick Perry, and Wilbur Ross are still on the job.
