British journalist Piers Morgan wants to be President Trump’s new chief of staff.

In a column published in the form of an open letter in the Daily Mail Tuesday, Morgan, a “Celebrity Apprentice” winner, said he would like to put his name into consideration to take over John Kelly’s position as the latter prepares to leave his post at the White House in the new year.

Although the TV personality, who campaigned for gun control while a CNN host, admitted that he might not be the obvious choice for such a coveted position, he says he has the qualities that Trump respects and is required for “the toughest job in world politics.”

“You might not immediately recognize what qualities I have for such a massive job in your administration, especially following a hugely respected war hero like General John Kelly. But the key thing is to have someone at your side that understands you, has known you a long time, likes you and commands your respect,” Morgan wrote.

Morgan, whose lucrative day job is as a GMTV breakfast host in Britain, said that when he won the first season of Trump’s spin-off show, “Celebrity Apprentice,” Trump told him that he was “vicious,” “tough,” “smart,” and “probably brilliant.”

“Let’s be honest, what more could you possibly want from your Chief of Staff? You could have been talking about yourself!” the MailOnline columnist wrote.

The short list to replace Kelly includes former Trump campaign manager David Bossie and acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker. Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., expressed his interest in being considered for the position on Monday. Trump said on Twitter Tuesday that, despite reports that few are interested, more than 10 people are jockeying for the position.

Vice President Mike Pence’s chief of staff, Nick Ayers, the previous front-runner, is no longer being considered after he and Trump could not agree on a time frame for the position.

Morgan also argued that he would be a good choice since he is vying for the job and “nobody else is exactly storming the ramparts of the White House demanding you hire them” as chief of staff.

The British television host also appealed to Trump’s ego in the letter, saying that he realizes there is truly only one chief in the White House: Donald Trump.

“You’re your own Chief of Staff, and always have been,” Morgan said in his letter to Trump, adding that he needs someone that “will look you in the eye and tell you when you’re being an idiot. Seriously. Because sometimes you do dumb things like separating children from their parents at borders, or blaming forestry managers as people are dying in wildfires, and you need someone with the balls to tell you that. I’d have the balls, because I know it’s a myth you can’t handle the truth.”

Other than these criticism, Morgan also said there was “chaos” in the White House and called for Trump to stop the “silly war with CNN.”
