REAL TIME

Help poor Reince Priebus find his next job

Reince Priebus definitely needs some career advice. He still seems to think he can save his job.

Which perhaps explains Monday's bizarre presidential ego-stroking where the chief of staff and cabinet secretaries effusively thanked their leader for the “honor” and “privilege” of serving him and for bringing "real change, real prosperity, real strength" to America.

“On behalf of the entire senior staff around you, Mr. President," Priebus said, "we thank you for the opportunity and blessing that you’ve given us to serve your agenda and the American people.”

#Gag #Pathetic

And here's why: As Politico has reported, this guy is on the verge of getting the boot from “Celebrity Apprentice: White House Edition.” The time for Henry VIII style flattery is long past though Trump keeps lapping it up.

What Priebus needs is a resume. A spruced up LinkedIn page. An ad on Craig’s List (White House category). Something like:

Position Wanted: 10 years running afractious political organization; six months managed staff for Most Interesting Man in the World. Experienced. Subservient. Unquestioning. Familiar with Twitter trolling. Call 202-456-1414. Ask for “Reince.”

Hey, no charge.

After managing Trump’s whims for months, Priebus is instantly qualified for any number of professions. He’d be a whiz at risk management or animal control, psych ops, maybe even waste management. Put him in charge of a Superfund site.

 

But you be the outplacement specialist:

What job should Reince Priebus’ go for after he gets the heave-ho from Trump’s body guard?
