Just six days ago I wrote an article for The Duran in which I said that if President Trump is to avoid seeing his administration unravel he has to stop destabilising it himself, with bad decisions negating good decisions and with President Trump himself prosecuting public feuds against top people in his administration like Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
(ZHE) — That didn’t take long: just ten days after Anthony Scaramucci was appointed as the new White House communications director, the NYT reports that Trump has removed Scaramucci from the role of Communications Director, as requested by the new chief of staff, John Kelly.
President Donald Trump has just resolved days of speculation over a possible shake up in White House senior leadership by firing his chief-of-staff, Reince Priebus.

Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly says parents and children caught crossing the Mexican border illegally won’t be separated unless the “situation at the time requires it.”
Kelly said border agents could separate parents and children if, for instance, the mother is sick or addicted to drugs. But he said it won’t be routine.
