Three-and-a-half months in, Mark Meadows has told people he is struggling with the chief’s job and that if Trump wins re-election, he’ll only stay in the role for an additional year, if that long

“It should not surprise anyone that Meadows is having an almost impossible time because it is mission impossible being Trump’s chief of staff,” said Chris Whipple, an author who has written extensively about White House chiefs of staff and whose upcoming book is“Look at what has happened on Meadows’ watch: the walk to Lafayette Square, the complete mishandling of the Covid-19 crisis, the defense of the Confederate flag and the botched handling of the intelligence on the Russian bounties on U.S.

“Is it harder than being a popular member of Congress? Absolutely,” said a second senior administration official. Those priorities could be hard to achieve if the White House and country remain swamped by the coronavirus, which has killed more than 134,000 Americans, according to the latest data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Several White House aides — Meadows among them — seem to want to will away the virus, even as infections spike across Sun Belt states like Arizona, Florida, North Carolina and Texas that the president needs to win in November.

Early on in his tenure, Meadows clashed with the president’s son-in-law by trying to prevent him from bringing to the president not-yet-fully-formed plans related to Covid-19, such as the idea that Google was developing a screening website that would tell Americans whether they should be tested for the virus.

'Save Mark Meadows - Vote Biden'

Who cares what Mark Meadows thinks or does. A has been.

Poor little Mark

Ha!

I'm not feeling sorry for anyone who embeds themselves in this dystopian admin. Hope he has more nightmares than I'm having.

You’ll be lucky to last another week

Who cares

No sympathy MarkMeadows ! You are doing a terrible job for a awful President. What a horrific legacy

Didn’t anyone tell him he has only 6 more months in his job and that’s it?

This is so predictable. Completely over his head. Anybody with a grain of common sense would have run from this job offer. He'll be washing cars after November with his legacy ruined.

Mark Meadows is an enabler of Donald Trump and thus he is putting every American in danger. bebestscrewyou

So what?

MarkMeadows is stupider than previously believed. How did he think working in that circus would be easy? Or worthwhile? Or helpful to whatever career he might have wanted?

Boo fucking hoo....

Well he won’t have to worry about he latter

MarkMeadows - It'll be hard to buy your soul back. Just sayin'.

shucks.

Well, he probably won't have to wait that long to be free.

Couldn’t happen to a less competent person. Reaping what he’s planted

If tRump wins reelection? On what planet?

Yeah because in congress he didn’t do anything but complain about the dems now he has to work in a chaotic environment

Being out the violins...🙄

Mark Meadows never was really qualified for that job; nor for any other in government.

Fukem he knew and sold his soul.. Let it be total misery for him. GopIsDeadToMe

It's amazing to me that all of them think they'll be the one. They think they'll be able to control him, to tone down his crazy. They think they'll be allowed to do their job. And every single time.... EVERY SINGLE TIME, they are wrong.

struggling with the liar in chief. it's as if he didn't know what he was getting into. hahahaha

Encouraging

As the saying goes, lie down with dogs, wake up with fleas. Wtf did he think it would be like?

Ah poor Meadows

Such a competent leader, smartest human being, and greatest president in the history of America should be easy to work for, no?

LOL....Meadows can slink back under his rock in January, where he belongs.

Gosh. Who would have thought?

Not a worry

So much for finding the leakers...

Was he crying when he said it?

Boo hoo

Poor Mark! Let's put him out of his misery by sending Trump into retirement in November.

Life was so much easier when Meadows could just focus on being a racist Birther.

Hahahaha MarkMeadows . Can't hack your nutjob POTUS ? The entire gop is one big laughingstock.

Auditioning for a spot on Team “We Would Have Won If They Only Listened To Me.”

good Mark.....hope now you're getting a good close look at the FKN IDIOT that you have been supporting MarkMeadows ...I guess working for someone else sucks right ....the voters should make you work harder so you know WTF it is like .....Politicians !!!! 🤮

Is Meadows delusional? Trump just uses people then throws them away he was done before he started !

Lmao he wouldn't make it that long anyway. He have up a congressional seat for this crap

So he’s building an exit strategy? Good to know their internal polling is every bit as bad as what we’re all seeing from the media.

The hubris of thinking one could do a better job of managing spoiled brats than a Marine general who spent his whole career managing 20 year old frat bros. This whitehouse is a perfect example of the privileged white male’s ability of rising far above one’s level competence.

ETTD

Mark doesn't have to worry about that extra year.

Narrator: Meadows finds that all the reporting & book writing about the disorder, chaos & backstabbing in the WH was not fake news after all. Plus he really isn’t the Trump whisperer he thought he could be. Meadows is not very astute.

Poor boo boo

Well, duh...what did he expect? No sympathy Mark!

I don’t think he needs to worry about next year.

Awe. Poor baby.

That daily shit sandwich is hard to take!

Melissa35069685 Meadows is leaking again.

So...he’s voting for JoeBiden then?

He can make sure he leaves in 6 months by tanking the election for 45. Wait maybe he already is helping.

Who knew being worthless and giving Trump HJ's all day was such a strenuous job

Also, ”to get a college degree ”

Man takes job working for lunatic, is shocked when job requires working for a lunatic.

Mark meadows looks like a crumpled mess. I guess his job might be stressful.

If only there was a way to know ahead of time....

'If only I had gone to that gym elective I took senior year... none of this would be happening'

He will forever be tainted with the stain of this Trump crime family corruption. GOPComplicitTraitors

lol. MarkMeadows is 'struggling' with the chief's job. You know who's struggling? People with COVID. People whose loved ones have died/are dying of COVID. Unemployed people. People who can't feed their kids. People who are isolated & alone. GOP is sickening. VoteBlue.

secupp SE it figures that you would like this. Also I doubt that it is true. fakeconservative SECUPP Secuppisnotwell sheisnotwell

A cult follower isn't good material for chief of staff. You need someone who can 'think outside the box', and that isn't Mark Meadows.

He should consider going back to college to finish his degree. That way he won’t feel so bad about lying about it for so long.

Nothing he needs to worry about...

Has the Trump Ouster Clock started to run on Meadows?

Scary thought

Trump has always been a small business man.... He’s NEVER gonna adjust to scope of the Presidency

This was my prediction long ago. We wanted him out of WNC politics and wished him to take that job. Knowing he wouldn't last. Then he will be gone and out for good.

He looks utterly defeated in that picture.

Did he start crying again? Lol 🤡

Honestly - what did that idiot expect?

Did Mark Meadows strategically leak this cry for help?

I call bs...he knows where the door is

ETTD asshole 🖕👏 MarkMeadows

Why did Mark Meadows believe he would be the exception? Everyone working for Trump following anyone who leaves that administration needs a Psychological exam. Why are they all so gullible? I already know the answer.

Tell him not to worry. He’ll be working in Walmart’s as a greeter after November.

Heart breaks dude - better make the best of those insider trading deals while you can.

He was sobbing uncontrollably when he made this statement. He was also holding his butt cheeks.

Poor Mark. I hope ur miserable every single day. You deserve it.

He doesn't have to worry. He only has about 6 months to go.

He knew what he was in for when he took the job.

If you can't take the heat and do the job resign NOW 😊

Ha. He’ll get his reprieve much sooner than that!

Don't worry Mr. Meadows, only six more months.

Resign now, avoid the rush !

He’s an idiot if he wasn’t able to see, in advance, what a joke this WH was and still is !

CyndiRob60 I pray we free you before you have to serve out your term! VoteBlueToSaveAmerica

realDonaldTrump 's Chief of Staff seems to be a revolving door. Could it be that Donald is a terrible person, boss, and administrator? Obviously, yes. Every bad item about Trump as always turns out to be true. FireTrump FireGop

To be fair we all suspect Mark Meadows would struggle at most jobs.

Guess he found out it wasn't fake news after all....Mark is a little slow on the uptake.

That's 62 years in Trump Dog Life.

This guy paraded a 1 black women in congress to prove “trump is not a racist.”

He won’t last that long. Meadows isn’t used to the daily nuclear level in the WH. I be surprised if he last by end of August.

He can leave any day, so he needs to stop complaining.

Snowflake.

He’s like a snake handler. He knows he’s playing with something dangerous, even deadly, but he keeps going back, even after being bitten multiple times. It’s only a matter of time.

What people?

Who the fuck cares!?

Awwww..that says it all

Only the best people huh

So, two racists can't get along, is that it?

from all reports he`s spent most of those 3.5 months balling his eyes out, tough shit, he knew what he was getting himself into

ETTD, Mark. TheRickWilson

He knows he won’t win..🇺🇸

Time to put Meadows out to Pasture

thoughts and prayers

Womp womp. Just don’t come back to NC, please.

Maybe he can go back to college and get his BS degree that he lied about having.

I guess now he wishes his ALMOST Bachelor's of Science would have been in early childhood development

Dude gotta start prepping his resumes pronto and check craigslist.

he certainly had a heads up about the working conditions in the oval office but I guess the money & powerful position was too much to turn down.

MondayMotivation Covid_19 LoserTrump

Who cares?

donaldonethics Seriously tho, if it’s a struggle, leave now. MarkMeadows It’s totally good with about 68% of the country.

This is my surprised face. Plus he is the leaker. realDonaldTrump .

He is drinking russian pee!

Go figure...

'told people' ? no idea who? Just spin BS?

Joining the ranks of the 'What have I done to myself?' crowd.

Don’t worry Mark, it won’t be that long!

What's Your Source? You Dont Have One I hv a Source who has a Friend who has a Source.....

struggling? give us a break. You mean having to tell all these lies is bothering his conscience? Or does he have one?

It’s even harder when you know you said this.

We all see him struggling 🙄

Whatever Meadows goes on to do next, I'm sure that it will be helpful that his resume now includes experience licking the ass of a traitor.

BS

Wonder if this was one of his purposeful leaks😂

Hey, it’s your DREAM JOB! Suck it up and carry on!

How thick headed are these people

Lies from Politico

Don’t worry Mark, you only have a few more months.

These strong are very tough difficult trying jobs to have on your resume and then to face the public. The utterances and behaviors are all measureable and energy consuming really. It will takes strong hearts.

Where the hell did you get your information? Fake news!!!

Lol is this one of the statements he used to flush out the traitors who leak to crappy media outlets?

we're not looking to keep mark meadows in congress

Did he cry again?

Don’t worry Mark. Trump’s gone come November.

Why do all of them have to whine so much? I don't give a damn about MarkMeadows. He's another Trump enabler when we don't need another Trump enabler.

Seemed like a good idea at the time, right RepMarkMeadows ? Too bad you gave up your day job.

Which people? Just the never ending downpour of fake news. Get a life with some value you deadbeats.

Womp womp.

Golly, that's a shocker. Everybody else did so well in it. Maybe he should have considered the list of people who failed and fled this administration and who then were excoriated, before he took a job with an ignorant, incompetent, mentally ill narcissist.

Maybe he can go back and get that BA he lied about having?

AnotherAnonymousSources story from the FakeNews cabal! When will these science fiction editors realize everyone supporting POTUS derides their stories citing NeverTrumpers and victims of TrumpDerangementSyndrome ? YellowPress

One can only cover up lies so long! VOTE BLUE ALL THE WAY!

More anonymous sources? This article is 'underwhelming.' 🙄

Wow. What a brave guy.

He could quit.

The word “if” is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that sentence.

Not something he'll have to worry about after November.

POOR MARK, He is probably in TEARS everyday too!

He couldn’t hack it as a Congressman either, lazy and incompetent!

unqualified

Can that be true? Let’s hear it from him personally.

What awful “journalism”. I read your posts. I have never seen anything that reports the news, everything is left leaning opinions.

mark medows recognizes insanity and needs to distance from orangeman ! run for ur life! do it now --/ Can you imagine having a boss like orange man oh my God so much ego so little talent

No worries Mark, neither scenario is going to happen. BlueTsunami

Cry me a fucking river

North Carolina voters indicated they were glad to get rid of Mark Meadows, when he took the job as Donald Trump’s Chief of Staff! Meadows has expressed his disappointment with Donald Trump, when meeting with members of the Lincoln Project, as he starts to look for another job!

He doesn’t need to worry ... that party is over soon!

He previously witnessed the hurricane from the outside, now he views it from the “eye of the storm”trying to effectively manage time for someone who works 24/7 and has hundreds of balls in the air at one time. realDonaldTrump

Who can stand working with Trump for very long? He’s had more turnover than any other President. He behaves like an unqualified petulant child.

Turns out MarkMeadows is not the d-bag whisperer he thought he was. Nevermind, the rest of us see exactly who & how trump is. Mark thought he was smarter & better. Did you really think the dozens of people who've come before were less capable? Ego's are funny things, huh?

Who did he tell? Just 'people'?
