Donald Trump has for weeks been privately testing the idea of replacing his chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney, whos swiftly fallen out of favor with some of the presidents allies after high-profile stumbles handling the House impeachment inquiry.
About a month ago, Trump said to Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin in front of a roomful of staff: You have such great ideas, why dont you be my chief? He has made similar remarks about Chris Liddell, a deputy chief of staff at the White House, according to people familiar with the matter. Hes also asked advisers whether his counselor Kellyanne Conway would be a good chief of staff, other people said.

(7,947 posts)Her only job now seems to be coming out on the driveway once in a while and robotically pushing some Trump nonsense. and probably she also has the task of assuring Trump that she loves him far more than she loves her anti-Trump husband.
She would have to actually work if she was chief of staff.
