[Trump filling his diaper](http://money.cnn.com/2016/11/13/media/donald-trump-new-york-times/index.html) on Twitter again. It’s pretty funny that some people thought a 70 year old, painfully insecure gasbag would somehow transform into a statesman after the election. He’s just a punk. ---

Rance Priebus is the chief of staff. While a better choice than Bannon, I’m not sure Priebus is the best choice either. But it does show that Trump intends to chart a more establishment course after all. ---

> [@VinylTurnip](#): > > I know we’re living in dire times because I have no idea whether this is a joke. It’s press secretary. If there was ever a position where a President could just appoint whoever they wanted and it didn’t matter, this is it. It’s also a nice way to please your base without actually having to deliver on policy. A lot of Trump voters will be satisfied just to see Laura insult reporters from the liberal media. ---
