Report: Trump considering ousting Priebus, Bannon

President Trump is considering ousting both White House chief of staff Reince Priebus and chief strategist Stephen Bannon, Axios reported on Friday.

Aides and advisers to the president told Axios that, while Trump is considering a major shakeup in the West Wing, it's not clear when it would happen or if Trump will "pull that trigger."

"Things are happening, but it's very unclear the president's willing to pull that trigger," one top aide said.

Bannon emerged as one of Trump's closest — and most controversial — aides before the president took office. In the early days of his presidency, Trump elevated Bannon to a position on the National Security Council's (NSC) principals committee, and the former Breitbart executive was said to hold considerable influence with the president.

2. It would seem

that Trump has to be careful about alienating people who know too much. I can't imagine Banoon keeping his mouth shut, but maybe firing him would be only for show.

5. I like the idea of firing those two. 99% of what they do

is either crap or flawed. Jared can easily added the valuable stuff to his job stack.
