Scoop: Trump considering Mark Meadows for chief of staff
トランプ大統領は主任補佐官(チーフ・オブ・スタッフ)にMark Meadows氏の起用を検討

What's happening: Trump has asked confidants what they think about the idea of
installing Rep. Mark Meadows, the chairman of the ultra-conservative House Freedom
Caucus, as John Kelly's permanent replacement, according to these three sources.
Trump has also mentioned three other candidates besides Meadows, according to a
source with direct knowledge. I don't yet have their names.

Nick Ayers, previously considered the favorite, is out of the running to be Kelly's
replacement, according to sources with direct knowledge.

"Nick couldn't give POTUS a two-year commitment, so he's going to help him on
the outside instead," one of these sources told me. (This news was first reported
by the Wall Street Journal.)
Ayers is expected to run the pro-Trump outside group America First, according to
another source with direct knowledge. Trump will make a decision on Kelly's
replacement by the end of the year, the source said.

Between the lines: Trump doesn't know what he's going to do. Ayers, the vice
president's chief of staff, was his first choice for the job. Jared and Ivanka, who
have been determined to get rid of Kelly, have advocated for Ayers, who has
been secretly discussing the job with Trump in the executive residence for months.

The hitch: Ayers told Trump he'd only commit to taking the job until next spring ?
as chief caretaker until Trump finds a permanent solution. Trump has privately
asked for a two-year commitment, and he didn't appreciate that Ayers wanted to
announce an end date.
