the facts are that generaljohn kelly is qualified to bring order to the white house. characteristics, he is disciplined and respected in the white house. he has experience and donald trump likes him and admires him and he is not afraid to speak truth to power and have decisive leadership and all of those things exist and you have had in the initial 24 hours invitations in the west wing that people will fall into line and follow the rules and accept his structure. we will see how it works out. after all the bad press donald trump got in the last week, he might wa nt to trump got in the last week, he might want to leave an impression that the white house is not in complete chaos but the million—dollar question is that he is a source of a lot of the unpredictability and how much will he listen to his new chief of staff if he asked him to temper his wildest impulses and restrain himself and he already tweeted that people who tell them not to treat oui’ people who tell them not to treat ourtrump people who tell them not to treat our trump enemies and this is the only way h

is all part of housecleaning, housekeeping, undertaken by the new white house chief of staff, generaljohn kellyks he has been made to instil some sort of discipline, to a somewhat unruly inner circle, amongst donald trump's confidants. so we will wait and see what happens now as far as that is concerned, but it is clear that there has been a pupil in the last few weeks. we have seen the departure as aleem mentioned they are of the communications chief, the white house press spokesman, of the chief of staff, reince priebus, and now steve bannon. so the question remains who are you going to get in to fill some of these vacant positions, as well. and david, with what appears to be so much chaos inside the white house, particularly when it comes to staffing, when it comes to policy, as well, and president trump unable to shake off the remarks he made about the violence in charlottesville, what is the feeling, what is the atmosphere on capitol hill, cheekily among republicans? i know some have come out and spoken against president trump, butare out and spoken against president trump, but are not in

president trump has nothing but praise for generaljohn kelly but friends say the general was reluctant staff and will want to drive the white house agenda forward. if the president of the united states is disrupted in himself, i think general kelly will have frank discussions about things he could do that would help the situation and improve it. with three high—level departures from the administration in two weeks, general kelly'sjob to maintain discipline will be a challenge. the question is, will we see a more disciplined president trump? and that is the big question going forward. keep in mind, the departure of scaramucci is perhaps the easiest thing that john kelly will be able to get done in this white house. general kelly will be watching this space, the president's twitter feed, which described yesterday's extraordinary shake—up is simply a great day at the white house. here is the message from donald trump. good news for the 35 million people who follow donald trump at the moment. that message alone has been re—tweeted nearly 9000 times in the last few minutes. the ministry ofj

this is quite a victory for generaljohn kelly, he is by the nature of his work and his background, a, surely one of the greatest and biggest wild cards, mina collations and distractions in the white house is donald trump himself? yes, i do not and how much of the victory this is for kerry because trump and steve bannon remain aligned and i think both will be working against kelly and i think that steve bannon can do so friendly. kelly can also be quite extreme, he has some of these xenophobic and and how muslim views but it is preferable to donald trump and steve bannon but i do not their so would think he is good for america and i am not sure that he is able to keep these extremist elements in check the me that a lot of people are hoping that he will. sarah, very quickly, many people, democrats, more moderate republicans have said that following on from everything that has happened, particularly charlottesville, and support from doctor david duke, saying you only got there because of the white vote. do you think they are correct in saying that the position of donald trump is irredee

mr scaramucci was dismissed last night — just hours after the appointment of generaljohn kelly — for "inappropriate" comments in a magazine interview. he's the third trump appointee to leave his role in recent days. despite his short tenure as white house media chief, anthony "the mooch" scaramucci made his mark. it was a most difficult situation to be in. what is the first thing you are going to change to right the ship and put it on course? again i take issue with that. this ship is going in the right direction. one of the things i cannot stand about this town is the backstabbing that goes on here. where i grew up, in the neighbourhood i am from, we are in front stabbers. what happens to leakers on your watch? they are going to get fired. why don't you guys get together and make a decision as a team that you are going to stop leaking. if you are going to keep leaking, i am going to fire everybody. it is just very binary. donald trump is not elitist then? very much so, he is both. he knows how to operate in an elitist world and he has unbelievable empathy for the common struggle tha

he does now have a new chief of staff, generaljohn kelly who is a 4—star marine general, and who will believe, a degree of discipline on the white house staff, which is much needed. whether or not he can discipline the president to focus on policy questions and move away from his tweets, that is an open question. in another rope in question, which is very serious, is whether or not this grand jury is going to look at trump's taxes. every president since richard nixon have released their taxes to the public, except for donald trump. and i think that was one of the first things to generate curiosity, if not suspicion, among the general public regarding donald trump. the claims the president has a short attention span,is the president has a short attention span, is it right names of staff have found a way of making sure he gets interested in particular speeches and other things? they insert his name into various paragraphs within the briefing papers to hold his attention. i mean, that's what they say. i don't know, i'm not in the white house now. you sound as though you're almost relieve

a week ago today trump announced on twitter that he was appointing generaljohn kelly as the white housethis man was out. anthony scaramucci — trump‘s new director of communications — and a bit of a loose cannon. he was sacked afterjust 10 days in thejob. then on wednesday, trump was forced to sign a bill imposing fresh sanctions against russia. it included new powers for congress to block any move by trump to remove those sanctions in the future. he called the bill ‘deeply flawed‘ — but it passed with overwhelming support. and this leaves us with the attorney generaljeff sessions, who has been publicly mocked and disparaged by trump. he‘s had a call from general kelly to say that his job is safe. we can speak now to lance price, a writer and commentator and former labour director of communications under tony blair. leslie vinjamuri is from the us, and is a political commentator and academic. and in washington is clarkjudge, a former speech writer for republican president ronald reagan. lamps, iwill lamps, i will start with you, as a former director of communications, how would you deal
