17. Kelly will last only so long as Trump

decides to tolerate him.

I make no predictions as to how long he will last, but I will go out on a limb and predict continued turmoil in the Trump White House and his entire administration.

I saw earlier today that he's supposedly thinking of moving Rick Perry to Homeland Security -- at least I think that's what I saw. If Trump thinks that he can just move people around like that and have anything operate effectively, well, we already know he hasn't a clue how government works, and probably hasn't a clue about how successful businesses are actually run.
