In less than a week, the Trump White House replaced Reince Priebus with former general John Kelly as chief of staff, and lost Anthony Scaramucci as communicat­ions director 10 days after he replaced Sean Spicer.

Unlike most politician­s in our federal government, President Trump is willing to make changes in staff when changes need to be made! He does the right thing without worrying about the hater songbirds. Jim Reid

Hiring a guy and getting rid of him less than two weeks later shows a lack of profession­al judgment, not adaptabili­ty. Max Linder

Replacing people who need to be replaced is only half a solution at best. If the replacemen­ts keep needing replacemen­ts, it doesn’t really fix the problem, does it? Let’s not forget that Scaramucci was hired to replace another Trump pick.

Trump needs to become a more serious judge of character and competence. Gian Prabhudas

The real difference is this administra­tion treats the problem children in it. The last administra­tion would simply reassign problem children to other jobs. Bill Wilson

More of Trump picking nothing but the best people! Kevin Langford

Maybe Kelly had a hand in kicking Scaramucci out the door. Maybe he will be able to bring dignified behavior back into the White House. Tracy Nickerson

Let’s see, the president is working on his third communicat­ions director and his second chief of staff. He fired the FBI director and has an administra­tion with more leaks than the Titanic. The Republican­s health care plans keep failing, Trump’s immigratio­n ban keeps failing, and the border wall he promised Mexico would pay for is non-existent. Gee, what a sixmonth run! Greg Gibson

I think Democrats, independen­ts and many Republican­s are all eager for the inevitable implosion of this Trump administra­tion and are ready for serious leadership. Joshua Williams
