Donald Trump goes berserk after everyone laughs at him for not being able to find anyone better than Mick Mulvaney
Donald Trump’s search for a new White House Chief of staff has been a chaotic and humiliating process, which has seen him getting turned down by less and less qualified candidates. Tonight, Trump finally convinced right wing bottom feeder Mick Mulvaney to be his acting Chief of Staff, meaning no one wanted the job. After everyone laughed at the announcement, Trump promptly went off the deep end.
What’s remarkable is that Donald Trump had previously offered the job to Mick Mulvaney, who turned it down. Trump has clearly gone back and begged Mulvaney to take the gig on a temporary basis, to buy him more time to try to find a permanent replacement. When you can’t even get the ‘I hate Meals on Wheels’ guy to sign on to captain your sinking ship, you’re in trouble – and everyone knows it.
After the news broke and everyone chuckled accordingly, Donald Trump ended up tweeting “For the record, there were MANY people who wanted to be the White House Chief of Staff. Mick M will do a GREAT job!” There are a couple of interesting takeaways from this surreal tweet. First, it’s clear that Trump is so confused by how to spell “Mulvaney” he wasn’t even willing to give it a try.
Second, no one can even figure out who these other supposed candidates are supposed to be. Chris Christie publicly turned down the job earlier today. Nick Ayers turned him down. Mark Meadows turned him down. Rick Santorum turned him down. Newt Gingrich apparently turned him down. We know that there was no one who wanted to take the job, or else Trump wouldn’t have had to ask Mulvaney to temporarily do double duty on an acting basis.
