one challenge, he s obviously got a very impressive business record. but just the challenge of if it s a planning job and planning a month out or six months out, i mean you can plan all the made-in-america weeks you want, but if the president starts the week off by tweeting about something else, that s going to dominate the news cycle, you know, the best laid plans will be tossed out the window. here is why i think anthony is going to be so good in this job, is he gets the president. they clearly click. i think they get each other. anthony proved himself on the campaign trail. he proved himself on the transition team, and there is i think at a different level than we have seen other folks, he s been able to really relate to the president. he has a more personal relationship, sean spicy really didn t have that relationship. he understands how the president wants to communicate his message. that will look different from the previous administration, it will look different from oth
