OnPolitics Today: How to lose a guy in 11 days

Happy Monday, OnPolitics friends. We're going to start this by clarifying: If you count the day that Anthony Scaramucci was announced as the new White House communications director (July 21) and the day that it was announced that he no longer had said job (today), then it's 11 days total of the Mooch being on our radar.

Former White House communications director Anthony

What else is on our radar today: A Priebus farewell and a Kelly welcome.

Reince Priebus got the boot on late Friday afternoon, and we all learned about it in the way we've come to learn the most important things these day: the president's Twitter feed. And while it may have been six months of in-fighting and political reversals, Priebus still called his tenure a "very special opportunity."

Does Priebus being replaced mean chaos? No, of course not, insists the White House. This is not chaos. This is just business.

Which leads us to...

President Trump tapped John Kelly, his homeland security secretary, to be the next chief of staff, on Friday. The transition happened so quickly that Kelly was sworn in today, with Trump declaring that Kelly will do "a spectacular job." So what should you know about the person who is now charged with overseeing everyone in the West Wing? He's a four-star Marine general who butt heads with President Obama and was confirmed to head the Department of Homeland Security with bipartisan support. Does he have what it takes to handle the non-chaos of the White House? Only time will tell.

Leaving

Of course, it appears that one of John Kelly's first actions in his new job was ousting Anthony Scaramucci, he of the 11-day tenure, as head of the White House communications shop. It was done in order to give Kelly a "clean slate," according to Trump spokewoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders. We will say this about Scaramucci: his week and a half in office was full of headlines, if nothing else. Anthony, we hardly knew ye.
