We all knew this was going to happen when Mick "The Dick" Mulvaney was appointed head of the Office of Management and Budget, and them moved up in the strange way of the bizarre Trump presidency to the position of acting Chief of Staff. At least that's what we think he is.
Senate GOP grows frustrated with Trump chief of staff
"There is a feeling that the Freedom Caucus may be on the wane in the House, but it's on the ascendency in the West Wing," said one Republican senator, who requested anonymity to discuss colleagues' frustration with Mulvaney.
A second GOP senator said, "He's a former member of the Freedom Caucus, and he's used to saying no."
A third Senate Republican said there's "frustration" that Mulvaney and his ally Russ Vought, the acting White House budget director, are willing to settle for a yearlong continuing resolution to fund the government instead of negotiating a new spending deal with Democrats.
Yeah, there's a lot of "I told you so" in that.
