As Trump hobbles out of the West Wing, heading for MAL, he is overheard to say,

"Get me the fuck out of here! I need time to get away from all this crap! Let Musk straighten it out..."

I find it interesting that his Chief of Staff is so low profile. Vance is an empty shirt with no street cred. Rubio actually had the best chance at being almost competent but seems to be marching to a different beat and is end run or disrespected by Trump to the point of being essentially neutered. Hegseth---what a joke. Musk just makes bad press and seems to want to focus on changes that could just add to the base's disillusionment and worry. In some ways all this is good as it forces Trump and others to focus more on endless damage control rather than achieving their goals.

anyone else is name only. They say chief of staff holds the power of what gets done in the white house, I remember hating Rahm for awhile because he crushed single payer healthcare.

In Trumps first time his many chiefs stopped a lot of stupid things why he got only loyalists now.

But it's obvious Musk is it but he didn't want the title or desk job, he wanted the power while free to come and go.
