Trump Blames Chief Of Staff Reince Priebus For Health Bill Failure
Well that didn’t take long. Just one day after facing the gigantic failure of his signature legislative agenda, Donald Trump is finding people to blame.
According to reporting by the New York Times, Donald Trump is placing blame for the failure of his Obamacare repeal bill on his chief of staff Reince Priebus and other top officials.
“On Friday evening, a somewhat shellshocked president retreated to the White House residence to grieve and assign blame. He asked his advisers repeatedly: Whose fault was this?” The New York Times reported.
“Increasingly, that blame has fallen on Reince Priebus, the White House chief of staff, who coordinated the initial legislative strategy on the health care repeal with Speaker Paul D. Ryan, his close friend and a fellow Wisconsin native, according to three people briefed on the president’s recent discussions.”
The failure has reignited conversations about whether Priebus will be replaced.
Source close to @POTUS says he’s being advised to replace @Reince45 & is open to possibility — healthcare was last straw

And it was reported Friday night that Trump was upset with his daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared Kushner for going on a ski trip in the middle of the health care failure.
