Also out of surprise - but not out of (pained) laughs.

A report in in the New York Times, which paints a picture of chief-of-staff Reince Priebus trying to assert greater control, says he has set in place a set of checks and processes before new policies and Executive Orders are issued.

Checks? Processes? Isn't that exactly the kind of Washington-insider bureaucracy Trumpochka was elected to overturn?

Also, I dug into the NYT article, but it doesn't provide much reference for its assertion

Mr. Trump’s anger that he was not fully briefed on details of the executive order he signed giving his chief strategist a seat on the National Security Council

Images of the tangerine gobshite experiencing anger may just be wishful thinking.
