The WSJ editorial board released an op-ed today in the aftermath of Reince Priebus being replaced (abruptly, and announced via Twitter) by Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly. Their main message: Trump is the problem within the White House, not Priebus.
Highlights:
"[T]his shuffling of the staff furniture won't matter unless Mr. Trump accepts that the White House problem isn't Mr. Priebus. It's him."
"Presidents get the White House operations they want, and Mr. Trump has a chaotic mess because he seems to like it. He likes pitting faction against faction, as if his advisers are competing casino operators from his Atlantic City days."
"The reason Mr. Priebus wasn't as effective as he could have been is because Mr. Trump wouldn't listen to him and wouldn't let him establish a normal decision-making process."
