Chief Of Staff: Mick Mulvaney OUT, Mark Meadows IN

By Red Painter — March 7, 2020

Acting White House Chief of Staff, Mick Mulvaney, was let go via tweet during a late Friday news dump following Trump's visit to tornado ravaged Tennessee and his visit to the CDC. Who is going to be Season 4's new Chief of Staff? None other than Congressman Mark Meadows, the darling of Fox News.

Announcement (tweet):

I am pleased to announce that Congressman Mark Meadows will become White House Chief of Staff. I have long known and worked with Mark, and the relationship is a very good one....

Firing tweet that gives Mulvaney a cushy new job:

....I want to thank Acting Chief Mick Mulvaney for having served the Administration so well. He will become the United States Special Envoy for Northern Ireland. Thank you!

Twitter had thoughts:

Seems like it's not a coincidence that Mulvaney, who obviously knows various details about various things, landed a nice diplomatic job instead of just getting the boot.

Mark Meadows will be a disaster as chief of staff. But honestly, I'm just happy to be rid of Mick Mulvaney, who was low-key one of the most evil, vindictive scumbags in an administration that is Grand Central Station for evil, vindictive scumbags. https://t.co/YFKSb6gCYY

Mick Mulvaney bites the dust.

The equally terrible Mark Meadows replaces him. https://t.co/DuCpbfRSvl

Mick Mulvaney has just been fired as Acting Chief of Staff.

Racist birther GOPer Mark Meadows will be permanent Chief of Staff.

This criminal regime is a shitty sewer pit.

Amy Siskind nailed it:

I wasn’t sure if Trump could downgrade from Mick Mulvaney, but he proved he can: his new chief of staff is Mark Meadows.

Always count on Trump to go lower.

Congratulations, Mark. Or something.
