Trump Mulls West Wing Shake-Up of Key Staff Members

Donald Trump is reportedly considering a team reshuffle that could result in a number of key players facing the axe.

According to White House sources, the president may have a “huge reboot” of his team that could affect everyone from Press Secretary Sean Spicer, Chief Strategist Steve Bannon, even Chief of Staff Reince Priebus.

"He's frustrated, and angry at everyone," an anonymous source told Axios' Mike Allen, which reported on the potential reshuffle on Sunday. "The advice he's getting is to go big—that he has nothing to lose. The question now is how big and how bold. I'm not sure he knows the answer to that yet."

Rumors that Trump was planning to get rid of embattled White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer have been circulating for some time–increasingly so over the last week after Spicer’s briefings were handled by Deputy Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders.

Does he have a list of who is going to jail? Does he think he's not on that list? L. Coyote May 2017 #1
Priebus will go. He's underwear up a flag-pole, and didn't start out as a Drumpf "man". haele May 2017 #2

"Team reshuffle" may be narrative control for the coming team frog march en masse to their arraignments.

Bannon - 50/50. But my money is on him staying.
Depends on which of his three primary handlers - Kushner, Mercer, or Putin - would be the last one to talk to him before he pulls the plug.

McMasters - probably out. He doesn't like him. Mike Rodgers will be floated again.
Spicer - probably out. SNL made fun of him.
All the other staff members - easy, slow moving targets ripe for ridicule. And that's something that's bad for the optics.

This is all just Reality TV for Drumpf. He lives to say "your fired".
