A bombshell report indicating President Donald Trump was soliciting opinions on whether to sack his longest-serving chief of staff precipitated a full-blown “freakout” after Trump’s “human printer” showed him a paper copy of the news item.
Politico’s “Playbook” newsletter revealed the angry eruption took place in the White House on Thursday in the wake of a separate report indicating that Trump had been calling around to a roster of informal outside advisers about bringing an end to Wiles’ tenure and floating several names for a successor to the veteran Florida political operative, who is the first woman to serve in the chief of staff position.
