Nia-Malika Henderson on Kelly Exit: It Looks Like Trump’s Best Days Are Behind

‘In many ways the best days for the White House might be behind them’

EXCERPT:

HENDERSON: "Yes, the idea that this White House might just be prepared to wing it over the next couple of months, when you've got a Mueller investigation that's ongoing. Who knows when that's going to end? When you've got this incoming House Democratic caucus that's prepared to look into this White House. This has been a White House that never has been very strategic, never very good in terms of communication or following through on a plan, coming up with a plan and then following through with it. So the idea that now they've got this situation where they can't really seem to attract a candidate to this chief of staff position, somebody who would be the point person in many ways for any number of issues, dealing with Congress, dealing with the kind of communications part of the Mueller probe. It's telling and it's worrisome. I think if you were a Republican going into 2020, going into this very tumultuous time, for a White House that already has had a tumultuous time. In many ways the best days for this White House might be behind them. It's not likely that there's going to be much in the way of legislation.”
