During a rare interview with Sean Hannity on Monday night, White House senior adviser Jared Kushner said his father-in-law would make the “right choice” about his new chief of staff “when he’s ready.”
“The President will make the right choice for chief of staff when he’s ready, and hopefully he’ll choose somebody he’s got great chemistry with, great relationship with, who will help him navigate the next couple of years through all of the good opportunities that emerge to keep pushing forward,” Kushner said.

Since Trump’s top pick to replace John Kelly — Nick Ayers, chief of staff for Vice President Mike Pence — declined his job offer, Trump has been scrambling to find a replacement. Trump was reportedly “super pissed” about Ayers decision to leave the administration since he was banking on the thirty-something to replace Kelly, who he’s reportedly not on speaking terms with.
I love air quotes, or regular quotes, or whatevs - YKWIM.
ETA: dotard-translation: he will make a crazy choice 5 minutes before his next tee time.
Yeah, when, and IF, he can find anyone suicidal enough re: their reputation and career for the rest of their lives, who is insane enough to accept the job offer. I mean, who would sign on to be first officer on the Titanic AFTER it hit the ice berg? All I see right now are wise rats starting to flee the capsizing ship of state.
Seems a little curious that Kushner is on Fox talking about this. I know this probably seems highly unlikely, but did tRump ask Kushner? Is he getting a recommendation from Kushner and if so it’s bound to be a doozie.
He’ll have to order another General (or Admiral) to do the job. Though that’s an optimal scenario. As of the moment there are no adults in the room when Individual-1 has his tantrums.
When he’s ready, you mean during the space between tweets? Is Kushner talking about himself when he says “hopefully he’ll choose somebody he’s got great chemistry with, great relationship with…”?
