lets see:
Hire Scaramucci, Hire John Kelly fire Scaracucci -- 10 days it took to go from "Hey I work at the White House" to "Hey can I get my job back at Eximbank". He's after session
Start a fight with the GOP and insiste that the Senate should do nothing else than kill Obamacare! He said that he would sign anything, just anything that is put on his desk. The reality of politics is killing Trump's agenda. If he starts a fight with the Senate then what? His projects were:

- "Kill I say kill Obamacare" -- I suspect that this is personal rather than philosophical
- Kill the Muller Russia investigation
- Tax reform
- Infrastructure project
- Reform immigration -- he suggested a point system (that's what we use in Canada)
Aside from that he wants to make America great again, which is a good goal to have assuming he can. I though it was idiotic of him to suggest that the stock market's rise is due to him, what happens when the stock market falls...oh yeah that will be Clinton's fault.
One may presume that bringing Kelly to the WH will help things, although the real problem of the white house is the resident of the white house. A chief of staff is not in charge of policy or dealing with Congress (he's involved but its not his job). He's in charge to make sure that only the important things arrive on the president's desk -- and then counsel the president.
Its hard to see how that's going to work out. Kelly is an ex-military man and his world views are about things military. Moreover, how does he built confidence with a man who is at heart a narcisist with OCD?
I suspect that it will go a little better for a while but fundamentally the problem of the white house is Trump.
