Twitter is trolling Trump so hard with suggestions for his next chief of staff
The current chaos in the Trump White House has virtually become a national punchline. During Trump’s two years in office, countless high-level staffers have left their roles—the most recent of whom is White House Chief of Staff John Kelly. With Kelly’s departure, the president has lost two chiefs of staff in two years—and he’s reportedly struggling to find the next person for the job. Trump announced Kelly would resign by the end of the year on December 8th and promised to find a replacement within a couple of days. His top choice for the job seemed to be Nick Ayers, Vice President Mike Pence’s chief of staff…but then Ayers revealed that he planned to leave the administration as well before the end of 2018.
Thank you @realDonaldTrump, @VP, and my great colleagues for the honor to serve our Nation at The White House. I will be departing at the end of the year but will work with the #MAGA team to advance the cause. 🇺🇸 #Georgia

Trump then denied that he had been considering Ayers for the role, blaming reports on “Fake News” in a tweet. The president added that he had been “interviewing some really great people” and would be “making a decision soon.”

And of course, Twitter has its own ideas about who should take up the mantle.
Would be most efficient for Trump to cut out the middle man and just make Hannity chief of staff.

I feel like he’s going to make his daughter Chief of Staff. But TWIST, it will be Tiffany.

How about who ever hosts the Oscars must also be Trump's Chief of Staff?

He’s going to put a hat on his TV and try to name it chief of staff isn’t he

I’d like to wish good luck to the new White House Chief of Staff, a mop with googly eyes glued on the handle, that Steve Mnuchin, Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell, and many others will pose next to in photos as if everything is totally fine.

Next chief of staff:

false
Some even thought former government employees might have a shot.

ooo, oooo, I got it—maybe @SpeakerRyan can be the new chief of staff? Now that he’ll have time that is…😂😂😂

Only time will tell who actually takes the chief of staff job—and how long they’ll stay.
