to resign the chief of staff was reince priebus. and reince priebus excuse me got that information. reince was like what am i going to do with this? because reince didn t have a good rapport with the president as well. that was early on when things were a little bit crazy. but now this president does not want to see more people leave. he doesn t want anymore blood letting because it looks bad. and he presents the piece that oh we re great this is running well my team is great. but there is a problem within the team, the cogs are not coming together like they should always. yeah. and so he wants to show his power which he did, michael, with the impromptu press conference right outside of john kelly s door, outside his office. the guy s whose primary job it appears keeping trump under control has been in the dog house ever since he said his immigration premisesy uninformed. can kelly come back from that do
this president right now at this moment in time, he does not want anyone to quit, anyone of senior authority who is out there in the public because it looks bad for him. and he has made that clear. for instance, right now, general kelly he and general kelly are not getting along well. he is trying to ride it out. we never know what s going on. there are a lot of things we are hearing. it doesn t bode well if someone of a major stature were to resign. early on like when jeff sessions tried to resign, the chief of staff was reince priebus, and reince priebus excuse me, got that information. reince was like, what am i going to do with this? because reince didn t have a good rapport with the president as well. that was early on when things were a little bit crazy. but now this president does not want to see more people leave.
he s blamed by many for firing the fbi reince didn t want him to be fired. kushner pushed for it. trump blames that nierg and he also still blames jeff sessions for recusing himself. kushner s taking some pete heat there. i think it s interesting ho the president s about to embark on a lengthy international trip. jared organized it. this one, he s playing a very select role, leaving after the stops. this is a dacus moment rmts we need to be careful. but a football game. i m not sure this president would. we have to sneak in one more break. i ve always wanted to create those experiences for others.
sean pispicer was next to go. he resigned july 21st. for months the spicer show was must see tv. this was the largest audience to ever witness and inauguration period. both in person and around the globe. you had a, you know, someone as despicable as hitler who didn t even sink to using chemical weapons. he says it s a ban. he s using the words that the media is using. the president himself called it ban. i understand. is he confused or are you confused? i m not confused. i think the words being used to describe it derive from what the media is calling this. he s been clear that it s extreme vetting. does the president believe millions voted illegally in this election? the president does believe that. he stated it before. he stated his concerns voter fraud and people voting illegally during the campaign. he continues to maintain that belief based on studies and
circles that were worried about mike flynn having that job in the first place. one common thread throughout the firings is the fact that these are all born of a campaign that actually didn t expect to win. didn t expect to have to put a transition together and then suddenly they win and there s this very hastily thrown together transition. so a lot of people weren t fully vetted the way normal transitions and incoming administrations are going to vet people. that s why you have so much turnover in general in the first several months. flynn is an interesting case. pressure on trump or pressure on the person. most of the time it comes from media reporting things. in this time, it came out. pence took a stand. the president said, okay, i ll do it. days later he regretted that he felt backed into a corner and forced to do this. what about the acting attorney general coming out saying the guy is basically in hostage to the russians because they know they had talks can him about sanctions
