It must be a slow Friday. The Hill had to resort to repeating an old chestnut in order to get in today's smear of President Trump and his administration. According to The Hill, chief of staff Reince Priebus is most in danger of losing his job at the White House because President Trump doesn't like the total chaos he sees in his administration. The story is not meant to be funny, but it is a joke.
Think of it this way:
1. This is at least the fifth time in the last six months we have been told that Reince Priebus is about to be fired. Each time, the story is attributed to unnamed sources. Somehow, it never has happened.
2. Over the last six months, we have seen stories in the mainstream media about the imminent firing of Steve Bannon, the expected imminent departure of Kellyanne Conway, and the firing of Sean Spicer. None of those happened. Instead, Spicer is in the process of being promoted.
3. The mainstream media has pushed the idea of chaos in the Trump camp repeatedly. First we were told that the Trump primary campaign was in chaos. Trump then won the primaries. Next the GOP convention preparations were in chaos. The convention went off without a hitch. During the campaign against Hillary Clinton, it was a mantra of the mainstream media that the Trump campaign was in total chaos. Hillary's campaign, on the other hand, was supposedly organized and running perfectly. Then Trump won the election, and the post election books revealed that the Clinton campaign was a total mess. That brought us to the chaos the media told us about in the transition team. That process, however, went smoothly. Since the inauguration, we keep being told that the White House is in chaos. Nevertheless, the President has taken a lengthy series of actions to fulfill his campaign promises. There seems to be no chaos. The media also told us how the entire Republican party was in chaos; yet somehow, the GOP has managed to win every contested seat up for a special election.
Let's put it this way: there is no chaos. There is no reason to think that Priebus is on his way out. This is just total nonsense pushed by the media because they've run out of other negative things to discuss about the President. In short, it's Fake News.
