opening chapter: In the words of the White House announcement, he was leaving because he felt it was best to give Chief of Staff John Kelly a clean slate and the ability to build his own team, according to The Japan Times. The two-sentence release concluded, We wish him all the best. Hoping to turn the page on a tumultuous opening chapter to his presidency, Trump had insisted earlier Monday that there was no chaos in his White House as he swore in the retired Marine general as second chief of staff. ; Not long after, Scaramucci, who shocked many with his profane outburst last week against then-chief of staff Reince Priebus, was gone. Earlier, in an Oval Office ceremony, Trump predicted Kelly, who previously served as Homeland Security chief, would do a spectacular job. Trump on Friday ousted Priebus as chief of staff and turned to Kelly, who he hopes will bring military discipline to an administration weighed down by a stalled legislative agenda, infighting among West Wing aides and a stack of investigations. And the president chose to highlight the rising stock market and positive jobs outlook rather than talk about how things might need to change in his White House under Kelly.
