Donald Trump pouts as no one is willing to become chief of staff of his sinking ship
In the past forty-eight hours we’ve seen Donald Trump announce the departure of John Kelly as his White House Chief of Staff so he could usher Nick Ayers into the position, only for Ayers to change his mind at the last second – and resign from the administration entirely. It turns out Ayers was Plan Z to begin with, because Trump now can’t find anyone willing to take the gig, and even the people who are completely unsuitable for it are preemptively turning him down.
Even as news reports surfaced that Donald Trump was preparing to offer the Chief of Staff job to Director of the Office of Management and Budget Mick Mulvaney, other news reports surfaced making clear that Mulvaney didn’t want the job. This is the guy who is best known for doing a public victory lap about cutting funding for Meals on Wheels. He’s a loser going nowhere. Yet even he doesn’t want a promotion in the Trump regime, because no one seems to think there’s still going to be a Trump regime.
Trump reportedly tried floating the job to one of his most eager, corrupt, and stupid lackeys, Republican Congressman Mark Meadows. But then came reports that even Meadows didn’t want it. Meadows then put out his own statement suggesting that perhaps he might be interested, and because he’s a nonstop liar, who knows what we should believe. But then the whole job offer fiasco got worse, because Chris Christie came into the picture.
That’s right, Donald Trump is reportedly now trying to convince his former lackey Chris Christie, a washed up politician who left office with about a fifteen percent approval rating, to come bail him out by taking the White House Chief of Staff job. This is like when a football team becomes so depleted by injuries, they have to go sign failed former players who have already proven themselves to be terrible, because the only other option would be to pull fans out of the stands and send them into the game.
The difference, of course, is that Donald Trump can’t find anyone to take his Chief of Staff job because he’s a career criminal and traitor whose crimes are blowing back on him in rapid fashion. His presidency isn’t likely to last much longer, and it’s likely to end in Trump going to prison, along with a whole lot of his White House advisers. Trump will find someone stupid enough to take the job. But when you sink so low that you’re already in the Mulvaney-Meadows-Christie range, it means you’re so radioactive, even your friends won’t stand next to you. Trump is finished.
