The Republican establishment is getting flung out of President Donald Trump's orbit. First went press secretary Sean Spicer. Now, after just six months on the job, White House chief-of-staff Reince Priebus is leaving. He'll be replaced by General John Kelly, the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. Trump made the announcement via Twitter:




Priebus, the former Republican National Committee chairman, reportedly clashed with the close advisors to Trump, including son-in-law Jared Kushner. His departure comes the same week White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci accused him of leaking to the press, calling him a "fucking paranoid schizophrenic, a paranoiac."

Trump made the announcement as he and Preibus sat on a tarmac.
