Mulvaney's White House future in doubt, officials say

Washington (CNN)With a five-month impeachment saga behind them, White House aides are bracing for the prospect of another staff shake-up in the West Wing as President Donald Trump looks to enter a new chapter of his presidency.

Trump effectively lost confidence in his acting chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney, months ago, but was convinced not to act by close aides, who argued a leadership change in the White House during impeachment could cause unnecessary chaos.

The impeachment ended Wednesday in acquittal. And officials say Mulvaney's future is now in question.

Mulvaney himself is increasingly unhappy in the role, aware it has been diminished from previous chiefs of staff, people familiar with the dynamics said. According to several sources familiar with the matter, the President -- who has never graduated Mulvaney from his "acting" role -- often ignores Mulvaney's input and has opted on multiple occasions to do the opposite of whatever he suggests.

1. Trump tends to discard people who he figures he's gotten everything he can out of...

I suppose we can count on another riveting book from an ex-Trump aide. (Yeah, that's )

2. They've pretty much kept him in hiding since he had his "Get over it!" speeech.

I can't remember the last time I saw/heard him speak.

3. Mulvaney is an aloud mouth Nazi but Team trDump likes their Nazis to be kinda quiet and,....

..... and in the background Nazis.

If anyone is going to be a spit in your face honest Nazi and grab the Fascist spotlight - it should only be the Mango Mussolini and no one else.

Don't up stage the Don !

4. I admit it, I'm laughing.

My only hope is that they replace him with someone equally as inept.

5. Probably more inept so long as he kisses Trump's hiney.

6. Good. Mulvanney deserves to be outside government

not in congress, not in the WH, not at OMB.
