Reince Priebus remains White House chief of staff in large part because no one else wants the job.
A dozen White House officials and advisers told Politico that President Donald Trump wants to replace Priebus and has been talking to outside advisers about possible replacements, but he continues to hold onto his position. “It’s basically decided that Reince is gone,” a friend of the president told the website. “It’s just a matter of who replaces him and when.”
Priebus tries to maintain control within the White House by holding daily meetings at 8 a.m., running in and out of other meetings throughout the day to keep an eye on his colleagues, and working late into the night, sometimes reviewing posts about himself on Twitter and asking other officials to push back.
Trump praises Priebus to his face, but he’s critical of him with others within the White House and has been asking for advice on a replacement.
“You’d think he’d just do the same thing as (former communications director Mike) Dubke and see the writing on the wall and leave,” said one senior White House aide. “It’s gotten embarrassing.”
