The failure of the Republican push for the repeal of Obamacare sent a shockwave through a White House already struggling to get its bearings. Now, the White House is reportedly determined to effectively post-mortem the situation and identify what staff can do better. Or, alternatively, which staffers should be fired.

Katie Walsh, the former deputy chief of staff, was the first to go, dispatched to run an outside pro-Trump group.

The Trump administration is plagued—or, at this point, characterized—by dueling factions with diverse interests and political inclinations. “Of all the dramas inside the White House, none touches in intensity and consequence the growing belief that moderate, cosmopolitan, former Democrats are hijacking the America First boss,” Mike Allen wrote in Axios, pointing to the supposedly rising influence of newly minted White House employee Ivanka Trump and her husband, the president’s senior adviser Jared Kushner, alongside former Goldman Sachs president Gary Cohn. To the extent that such influence extends to policy, it almost necessarily comes at the expense of the ultra-nationalists like Stephen K. Bannon and Stephen Miller, the White House architects of Trump’s most extreme positions.

Against that backdrop, Politico spoke to a few White House officials and friends of Donald Trump. All signs point to a supposed reckoning. “Everybody,” said one official who was involved in the post-mortem discussions after the healthcare debacle, “agreed to do it differently next time.” Another aide described the transition as “aimless.”

“We’re going to keep adjusting until we figure out how to get it right and successful and I think that sometimes it comes from things that we do by changing things organizationally,” said one official. “Where we are today is way more advanced than what we were 60 days ago. And where we’ll be 60 days from now will be way more advanced.”

Reince Priebus, ever the subject of intra-White House whispers, may reportedly be on thin ice. One aide told Politico that employees with histories in politics and campaigns may gradually “fall off” to make way for people with experience in matters more familiar to Trump. And Trump himself is prone to abruptly firing and shuffling around his staff.

“In my experience, the president is focused on the practical,” said Chris Ruddy, a friend of Trump’s and chief executive of conservative site Newsmax. “He uses trial and error, things that don’t work are discarded, things that work are used all the time. This approach made him billions, a TV star and a presidential winner.”

Another one of his friends was more blunt. “Trump is a guy who likes to put things on the board — and when he doesn’t get it, he looks around the room and says, ‘Why didn’t I get it?’”

Reading the tea leaves is made all the more complicated by the fact that the boss is famously mercurial. You could say it depends on which way the wind is blowing.
