Trump firm's White House business turnover shows no signs of slowing down on new starts

President Trump has long promised to create jobs and has consistently delivered positive results, particularly in the White House and Cabinet where rapid turnover is showing no signs of slowing down by the end of 2018.

Resignation from the Trump Administration – Former Secretary of Health and Social Services, Tom Price, and Press Secretary, Sean Spicer, to the Secretary of State fired, Rex Tillerson (whom Trump recently called "lazy as hell" and "dumb as a rock") – attracted the most attention.

At the Cabinet, Attorney General Jeff Sessions was the last to be forced to leave, submitting his resignation the day after the mid-term at the request of the President. Last year, Trump publicly criticized the DOJ leader for being challenged in the investigation of Russia and opening the door to the investigation of a special advocate. EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt resigned in the summer amidst many ethical scandals, replaced by Acting Administrator Andrew Wheeler.

Townley, one of Flynn's senior assistants, had long held a less-selective secret security clearance in connection with his service as a Navy. Sources told Politico that Flynn and Townley considered rejection a "CIA job for Flynn and his relatives" because of his critical view of the intelligence community.

Several other employees relativ The White House, which has had key roles in major developments, also left their posts in the last two years. Keith Schiller, the long-time personal bodyguard of the president who had attracted attention after being photographed accidentally exposing the phone number of Defense Secretary James Mattis, has left his position as Director of Oval Office Operations .

White House lawyer Don McGahn also left.

In short, the one who was previously awarded his UVA MBA, left just at the moment the confirmation battle on Kavanaugh was intensifying. His record as a White House liaison with Capitol Hill staff and politicians was widely regarded as a success, though some of the results he was monitoring were mixed.

Although he helped to ensure the passage of Trump's $ 1.5 trillion general tax review last year, Court was unable to repel the president's long-standing efforts to to repeal ObamaCare beyond the finish line. This legislation – criticized by Democrats and some Republicans for failing to provide a viable alternative to health care – was rejected by a dramatic vote at the eleventh hour of the late GOP Arizona Senator John McCain. .

The White House defeated Shahira Knight, who had served on the National White House Economic Council and played a major role in shaping tax legislation, replaced Short.

The many departures from the White House continued until the last week of 2018. Pence Chief of Staff, Nick Ayers, announced Sunday that he would leave the House -Blanche at the end of the year, not knowing who would replace Kelly because Ayers was the favorite for this role.

Councilwoman Kellyanne Conway at the White House told Fox News Tuesday that Kelly, a retired Marine Corps general, could stay briefly in the new year until the president finds a replacement.

For his part, Trump made it clear that replacements for other roles are very likely in the new year.

"Yes, the others will go, of course," Trump told Stahl during the interview for "60 Minutes". "We have an excellent firm, there are people I'm not happy with, I have people I'm not happy with, and I have other people who are beyond me." . "
