Donald Trump wants the country to know that SO MANY PEOPLE want to be his chief of staff. Hear that TV pundits?? Trump is not scraping the bottom of the barrel, so there!!

Trump tweeted, “For the record, there were MANY people who wanted to be the White House Chief of Staff. Mick M will do a GREAT job!”

For the record, there were MANY people who wanted to be the White House Chief of Staff. Mick M will do a GREAT job!

Of course this tweet is not true.

The man Trump wanted as his chief of staff, Nick Ayers, declined the job.

Rick Santorum, the former Pennsylvania Senator and lover of good morals, also declined the job.

Earlier on Friday, former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie also declined the job.

Trump announced OMB director Mick Mulvaney would be the new “acting” White House chief of staff Friday afternoon in a series of tweets, where he also thanks outgoing CoS Gen. John Kelly.

I am pleased to announce that Mick Mulvaney, Director of the Office of Management & Budget, will be named Acting White House Chief of Staff, replacing General John Kelly, who has served our Country with distinction. Mick has done an outstanding job while in the Administration….

….I look forward to working with him in this new capacity as we continue to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! John will be staying until the end of the year. He is a GREAT PATRIOT and I want to personally thank him for his service!

Twitter quickly reacted:

You sound like you're upset that the boy you like didn't go to your party and now you're trying to make him jealous. https://t.co/truB7SPKfe

People changed their name and moved, overnight, without leaving a forwarding address, when they were rumoured to be considered for the Chief of Staff job. https://t.co/eXpgHQF8RH

Your 1st choice left the White House after he said he'd only serve as your Chief of Staff on an interim basis & you said no. After several more rejections for the position—including from the disgraced Chris Christie—you finally realized you had to take whatever you could get.

Even Scott Baio turned it down.

For the record everyone knows you’re absolutely full of shit and Mulvaney only agreed to it in the interim so he can escape as soon as possible. Everyone else RAN so as not to be tainted by your tiny-fingered failures you sad, fat fuck. 2019: TIME FOR JAIL
