And there it is – Mick Mulvaney is going to replace John Kelly. 

Trump just tweeted it:

I am pleased to announce that Mick Mulvaney, Director of the Office of Management & Budget, will be named Acting White House Chief of Staff, replacing General John Kelly, who has served our Country with distinction. Mick has done an outstanding job while in the Administration….

….I look forward to working with him in this new capacity as we continue to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! John will be staying until the end of the year. He is a GREAT PATRIOT and I want to personally thank him for his service!

WOW. I think he’ll do a good job. He’ll tell Trump what he wants to hear, but he’ll also do what’s good for the country. Let’s see how this goes… 

UPDATE: I wanted to add that the few times I’ve seen Mulvaney before the press, I’ve been very very impressed. He’s a really intelligent guy that handles them well without a lot of the prevarication that we see from other members of the administration. It’ll be very interesting to see how he does in this role. 

What do you all think of this choice for chief of staff? Let us know in the comments!
