Anything that will drive the left off the cliff, and this certainly will, is ok by me.

While the job description is "Acting", Mulvaney is stepping down from his current job as director of the Office of Management and Budget. According to some reports, the "Acting" title indicates that Mulvaney is "auditioning" for the job, subject to the eventual approval of The Donald.

A great way to inspire confidence and trust in your people.

Where did you come up with the auditioning thing?

Trump named him and then?

Ridiculous and presumptuous to step into the President's head.

By the way, Hillary is not the President since she lost.

1. In any Shiter House - EVERYONE is "acting."
2. Good point - did no one watch that show? Nothing he has donne is unexpected so far. Here's a guide to Trump - ignore his tweets, ignore what he says. Enjoy the gravy.

Mike Mulvaney was picked because he's one of the few in the Administration that is both capable and loyal to Trump.

Those talking of Jared being named was pranked by idiotic web sites such as the Huff Post and the lemmings bought this hook, line and sinker. Jared was never a serious contender but that didn't stop the uninformed and naive to play their childish games.

It is an 'acting' position because I am of the opinion Trump is waiting for the current House session to end so he can then name Mark Meadows as his Chief of Staff, a great choice if true.

Loyal this week. Lots of flip-flop in the world of politics.

Quote:
Mick Mulvaney called then-candidate Donald Trump “a terrible human being” in a video from November 2016 that re-surfaced Friday, hours after the president named him as acting White House chief of staff.

The remarks came one week before the presidential election during a debate between Mulvaney, then a Republican congressman from South Carolina, and his Democratic challenger at a middle school in York, South Carolina, according to The Daily Beast, which first published the footage.

Since chief of staff doesn't need Congressional approval,why would Trump have to wait.?

You're right....getting into Trump's head is like getting into a washing machine or dryer or tilt-ta-whirl...the 180 deg. FLIP-FLOP man....

You NEVER know what he's going to do!!!...From Ted Cruz...to the ENDLESS list of other's...

Which makes my prior comments & other's pretty DARN ACCURATE at this point in time...

BTFW...what does Hillary have to do WITH ANYTHING on THIS topic???
