Dan Balz: The W.H. Will Not Change Demonstrably Because of Trump

‘General Kelly has made clear he’s able to manage down, which is to say he’s able to manage the staff in an effective way’

EXCERPT:

BALZ: "Inside the White House will not change demonstrably because of Donald Trump. You know, General Kelly has made clear he’s able to manage down, which is to say he’s able to manage the staff in an effective way. He’s setting some boundaries. And I think Steve Bannon’s departure is one big symbol of that. But managing up, which is the challenge of any White House chief of staff, is enormously difficult. He’s been in there a few weeks. The tweets have not slowed down. The off message statements this week, were, the biggest that he’s had. So, that’s the challenge for General Kelly."
