No thank you to the president from Reince Preibus, his longembattled chief of staff, anthony. There have been many turbulent weeks at the white house, this by far the most turbulent of them all, capped off by the ousting of a chief of staff, and a slowmoving, highly aggressive, and very public. Power play, not only between Reince Preibus, but the new minted communications director, anthony scaramucci, brought in by President Trump, in direct defiance of the wishes of his wheefs, Reince Preibus, and others associated with the priebus wing of this very own white house. Its worgs pointing out, in the last month or two, anthony, the centrality of Reince Preibus as chief of staff had been gradually diminishing, less and less important in the daytoday scheduling of the president , and daytoday agendasetting for the future of his administration. With this earlymorning cull can minnation of the defeat of the effort in the senate to repeal and replace bawrk, Reince Preibus, who was brought in as chief of staff, in part because of his relationships on capitol hill with republicans, not only exits in the ignominy of the president , but also in the faceave conspicuous legislative defeat, not only for him, Reince Preibus, but for the entire trump administration.

And that was the tension that was carried then into their relationship into the white house. It has now happened. So what it is is its a ratification in part of all the reports of the chaos in the white house. What was striking about mr. Scaramuccis conversation with the new yorkers ryan liza was not just the vulgar language but it gave a window into the administration of what he was saying was basically out of control and pull of people only interested in themselves and protecting their turf, and it was an extraordinarily negative Performance Review of the white house.
