I am pleased to announce that Mick Mulvaney, Director of the Office of Management & Budget, will be named Acting White House Chief of Staff, replacing General John Kelly, who has served our Country with distinction. Mick has done an outstanding job while in the Administration....

Pool report: "The official was questioned about why Mulvaney was named the acting chief of staff rather than simply chief of staff.

'Because that’s what the president wants,' the official said."

Not the first time Pres has turned to Mulvaney to fill a vacancy. A year ago, he tapped Mulvaney to also serve as Acting Director of the Consumer Protection Financial Bureau. Last week, Kathleen Kraninger, from OMB, confirmed as full-time Dir at CFPB.

Mulvaney’s deputy at OMB is Russell Vought. I’m told he will take more of a leadership role at OMB while Mulvaney is acting Chief, but Mulvaney stays on as Director of OMB officially.

This is a tremendous honor. I look forward to working with the President and the entire team. It’s going to be a great 2019!

Seems like a bad choice, the guy who is in charge of the budget who added an extra $1 trillion to the deficit, is going to help direct day to day affairs?

If there is going to be a financial reset might not be a bad choice.........

Well lets see they have nothing yet after spending 25 million!!

Will he serve as acting chief of staff, or act as serving chief of staff?

Either way he risks jail time just by being within 10 feet of the guy.

Just say no, Micko. Ain't no loyalty where you're going.

President Trump will not be indicted.

President Trump will not be impeached.

President Trump will be re-elected in 2020.

President Trump will go down in history as America's best economic President.

Mick Mulvaney, born in America to Americans. A real American.

Dudes SERIOUSLY why do I have to go to MSM these days to get a fricking headline?? The DC federal courthouse went into partial lockdown and I have to hear about it from the Common News Network??

Disgusting. God DAMN I miss me the real GLP.

That's great news. Mulvaney is a real gun slinger with an incredible work ethic. He might actually be able to keep up with Trump.

Smoking crack?

If nothing else, he is against planned parenthood among other things.

"Today, “Crazy/Stupid Republican of the Day” is presenting our 506th original profile, and we’ll be using it to discuss Mick Mulvaney, the current U.S. House Representative for South Carolina’s 5th Congressional District, who appeared in… you guessed it… the 2010 Tea Party Wave after making a career as a state legislator who would sponsor bills to require medically unnecessary ultrasounds before abortions, define marriage as only existing between a man and a woman, and strict anti-immigration restrictions."

Well, so much for that stupid Kushner rumor.

Mulvaney will be a good choice.

Mulvaney is one sharp cookie. He handles the press like a boss. Will be fun to watch him in the future.

Here's some interesting tidbits on Mulvaney:

1) Mulvaney cofounded the bipartisan Blockchain Caucus, "meant to help congressmen stay up to speed on cryptocurrency and blockchain technologies", and develop policies that advance them

2) During his time in the U.S. House, Mulvaney aligned himself with the Tea Party movement.[29][30] He was a founding member of the Freedom Caucus.[31]

He opposed gun control initiatives and the Affordable Care Act

3) According to the New York Times, Mulvaney took "a hard line on spending during President Obama’s term, vowing not to raise the nation’s debt limit and embracing the term 'Shutdown Caucus' because of his willingness to shut the government down instead."[33] In 2015, Mulvaney voted against a government-funding resolution, which would have prevented a government shutdown, in part because it included funding for Planned Parenthood.[37] Explaining his vote, Mulvaney said, "This is not about women's health. It’s about trafficking in pieces of dead children."[37] After his appointment as head of the OMB in 2017, he reiterated his conditional position of support for a shutdown

4)In a press briefing on May 2, 2017, Mulvaney said that a "good shutdown" of the federal government might be necessary in September. He defined such a situation as one "that fixes Washington, D.C. permanently."[38] In the same conference call to reporters, Mulvaney defended a funding package which contained no funds for President Trump's posed border wall. The call became infamous after being plagued with technical problems and interruptions

Thank sweet fucking Jesus that it wasn't Chrispy Chreme Christy.

Mulvaney must have cat like night vision or just got done listening to some Drum n Bass with glow sticks.

I am not sure Trump had much choice. Everybody else he had asked turned down the job.

Asking someone to be his Chief-of-Staff right now is sort of like asking a pilot to fly an airplane into a mountain.

bullshit and lies he interviewed 9 people for the position
