The biggest name inside the Republican Party infrastructure to boost Donald Trump, Reince Priebus, is getting one of the biggest jobs within Donald Trump’s administration. The whispers began in earnest on Sunday, prompting this tweet from Politico’s Marc Caputo:
Reince Priebus will be chief of staff, source who spoke to Trump tells me. Announcement could come in the next half hour

BREAKING: President-elect Trump selects RNC chair Priebus as his White House chief of staff, sources tell @NBCNews https://t.co/Ix1GsgVgRU

Rinse as COS is a crap sandwich double decker, and a sure sign Trump will not overturn the DC money changers after all.

I’m sure @Reince is a fine pick for CoS but it’ll be amusing to watch the Trumpkins who HATED him now praising the choice because Trump.

Steve Bannon becomes “Chief strategist and Senior Counselor.” This is also known as “unaccountable position of unchecked power.”

Hmm, Bannon's name actually listed above that of the new Chief of Staff in Trump press release. This could be more like Rove/Card. pic.twitter.com/MoTa1qeNvy

@BenHowe Remember when the right freaked out about all of Obama's czar's? Watch the right be very silent on it now.

Well, Trumpies, I think you’ve been punked. You believed that Trump was this Washington outsider doing battle with the elites. Now you know that he, like every other president, is chummy with them.
Of course, I’m sure that those Trump surrogates who berated Rinse during this election process, will now praise Rinse’s appointment as a stroke of genius. They still believe that Trump can do no wrong.
Let's be real. Reince is going to make the trains run while Trump and Bannon brainstorm new conspiracy theories

Trump was "surprised by the scope" of the job of running the country, according to sources. https://t.co/1Zna6OkC8G
