As previously reported, Chief of Staff Reince Priebus is out and has been replaced with the current head of DHS John Kelly!
Most assumed Priebus was fired. However Priebus told a Wall Street Journal reporter that he “privately resigned yesterday”.
But he joined the president today for his trip to Long Island?
We are seriously supposed to believe that?
Michael Bender of the Wall Street Journal tweeted out, “I resigned yesterday, Reince Priebus tells me.”

Fox News reports:
White House sources confirmed to Fox News that Priebus, the former Republican National Committee chairman, resigned secretly on Thursday. Trump made the announcement publicly on Twitter late Friday afternoon.
“I am pleased to inform you that I have just named General/Secretary John F Kelly as White House Chief of Staff. He is a Great American … and a Great Leader. John has also done a spectacular job at Homeland Security. He has been a true star of my Administration,” he tweeted.
Kelly, a retired Marine general, formerly commanded the United States Southern Command.
Priebus was traveling with the president on Friday. Reporters spotted Priebus getting in a car after Air Force One landed at Joint Base Andrews.
“Reince is a good man,” Trump told reporters at Andrews. “John Kelly will do a fantastic job. General Kelly has been a star, done an incredible job thus far, respected by everybody. He’s a great great American. Reince is a good man.”
