(146,254 posts)which is why it may be significant. Perhaps he has been canned, and was sent home in shame. Perhaps he's been charged with the job of clearing out White House staff that has been fired. Perhaps he's going back to greet Kimberly Guilfoyle who will be replacing Spicer as Press secretary.
Perhaps Trump is keeping Bannon close because he is dangerous and he doesn't want to fire him while he's out of the country, and Priebus is going back to deal with that situation.
Maybe Priebus has been IDed as the West Wing Leaker. That may be the actual best possibility. He's been fired, if that is the case, and is going back to clear out his desk. Except that leaving him alone in the White House might be really dangerous for Trump. So, maybe not.
There are other scenarios, as well.
It's hard to say, but it's definitely unusual for someone like Priebus to suddenly be sent home from a 9-day trip like this.
