What it means, per an administration source: "This was Trump saying to Kelly... 'You have the ball. You make the staff decisions.'

Remember this: Trump's first reaction to the Scaramucci phone call with The New Yorker was amusement. As Trump saw the negative coverage pile up, he started to get angry. By the next day, he was joking about Mooch, saying things like "What am I going to do with this guy? He's crazy."Go deeper: Swan dives into the story. ... Even deeper: A timeline of Mooch's tenure.
