Trump names Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney as acting White House chief of staff

By Washington Post Staff December 14 at 5:24 PM

Mulvaney will replace John F. Kelly, who Trump announced last weekend would be stepping down as chief of staff.

“I look forward to working with him in this new capacity as we continue to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” Trump said of Mulvaney in a tweet. “John will be staying until the end of the year. He is a GREAT PATRIOT and I want to personally thank him for his service!”

This is a developing story. It will be updated.

1. This is the clown they hired to gut the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau

9. One clown for another?

11. This guy is just the..... ACTING..... Chief of Staff. Kelly has 17 more days and......

this guy is interim until they can find a permanent guy.

Friggin' Funny.

[George II]

15. Perfect for an "acting" president.

2. Makes sense.

Who needs a budget when you plan to shut down the government

[llmart]

3. He'll be staying until the end of the year?

That's like the shortest short term job I've ever heard of. By the time he unpacks his stapler and paper clips to put on his desk, it'll be over.

What a shit show this administration is.

[denbot]

4. I thought he meant Kelly

[llmart]

8. My error.

Well, then he might as well spend the time packing up his stapler and paper clips

[LuvLoogie]

5. Kelly is staying until EOY

[mobeau69]

7. Physically at least.

[Renew Deal]

6. "So many people"

[SergeStorms]

10. He can't find anyone to take it "full time"...

so someone finally agreed take it on as "acting" COS. Christie turned him down today, and Trump thought that was scraping the bottom of the barrel. I imagine Jared had something to do with that decision as well.

Poor Little Donnie.......no one wants to subject themselves to his dumbfuckery anymore.

[cstanleytech]

13. From what I read Jared was pushing to try and get the job himself but it would have been

illegal under current law so Trump was forced to find someone else.

[SergeStorms]

17. Heh?

When has Trump ever regarded the illegality of a situation before making a decision?

[cstanleytech]

18. Even the man baby has to bow down before the law every now and then.

12. Multitasking in this white house means ...

being incompetent at multiple things at once.

[rurallib]

14. it's not like Mulvaney is going to do anything

he's just a name on the door.

[SammyWinstonJack]

16. BLAH BLAH MAGA BLAH BLAH GREAT PATRIOT BLAH BLAH BLAH

[Politicub]

19. Magical thinking from Twitler that all-caps makes something true

So with that in mind:

What a piece of GARBAGE and FILTH trump IS, and HOW SATISFYING his DOWNFALL IS TO WATCH. POPCORN FOR EVERYONE!

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

20. He'll do for the Whitehouse what he did for the CFB

The Trump kakistocracy rolls on.
