Scoop: Trump, irked at cabinet and staff, mulls sweeping shake-up
Axios ^ | May 14, 2017 | Mike Allen

At the urging of longtime friends and outside advisers, most of whom he consults after dark, President Trump is considering a "huge reboot" that could take out everyone from Chief of Staff Reince Priebus and chief strategist Steve Bannon, to counsel Don McGahn and press secretary Sean Spicer, White House sources tell me...

"The advice he's getting is to go big — that he has nothing to lose," the confidant said..

One note of caution: Trump often talks about firing people when things go south and does not follow through on it. So it's possible these conversations are his way of venting, and seeking reassurance.

And it all could take a while: Trump heads out on his first international trip at the end of the week. Also, there's an internal argument for minimizing drama by cutting people out of the information flow rather than firing them....

Wrong. EVERY news item will be assumed to be damaging to the Pres & spun that way. You need to get used to a whole new approach, cause there will be no such thing as positive press.

The best approach is to put cheese in the maze every day, let them chase it while you MAGA.

Bingo!

Sadly, there seems to be a handful on FR that eagerly swallows this crap and then regurgitates it all over the place.

Jared! Ivanka! OMG!

I’m so worried Trump will be manipulated and taken advantage of since he’s so niaive and pliant and vulnerable and all.

Taking advantage of the elderly like that - shameful!

(Regarding the missing sarcasm tag - I didn’t want to insult anyone’s intelligence).

It isn’t about predictions, its about getting liberals out of the WH.
