:So, there is an incomplete table with the best pecking order I can determine. Some of this history should be recorded. For example, it's no secret [[Jared Kushner]] comes from a family of big Democratic donors. From the time Chris Christie dropped out of the race in mid-Summer 2016 until 3 days after the election, Christie was the presumptive Chief of staff who would bring in a bunch of East Coat RINOs. Trump ran against the GOP establishment - the heartland Republicans Reince Priebus & Paul Ryan. Once Kushner refused to work with Christie, the East Coast Republican machine was out and Trump had to turn to his second choice, the traditional Republican machine as the only alternative. Blame Kushner for not laying his cards on the table early, and upsetting Trump's original plan. Or blame Trump for a lack of foresight. But a compromise was reached with the GOP establishment and Priebus was hired.

:Ivanka Trump hired Priebus. If she has the power to hire she has the power to fire, as well. Bannon was knocked down bigtime, probably for leaking Susan Rice's name to Mike Cernovich of Breitbart as the unmasker - a breach of national security council regulations, and was booted off the NSC. Kushner still held his job on the NSC, and Bannon's flunky, a 31 year speechwriter, has been leapfrogged to Senior Advisor. Democratic White Housed have had 4,5, or 6 Senior Advisors, while Republicans have 1 or 2, as this one does.

:So the foreign policy making, for now, (meaning the makeup of the NSC staff) has been taken away from Trump and given back to the [[Deep State]]. Chalk it up to inexperience and a refusal to listen. That leaves domestic policy in his hands. Ivanka Trump, Rience Priebus' boss, finally got the First Lady's Chief of staff. My wager his she will not fill out those subordinate positions with tradition First Lady staff positions, but be able to fill directly the remaining domestic policy positions. She is now officialky in a policymak8ng role. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]^{[[User talk:RobSmith|''The coup plotters are going down'']]} 07:37, 24 April 2017 (EDT)
