13 Dark Horse Candidates for White House Chief of Staff

President Trump is having a hard time finding a new chief of staff to run his White House, and he is reportedly "super pissed" about it. That's only natural for a proven leader with high standards. But until the perfect candidate (Hope Hicks) comes to her senses and accepts the job, here are a few other candidates the president should consider.

Who: Bobby Knight

Why Not: White House chairs are heavy/expensive

Who: Emmanuel Macron

Why: Sexually sophisticated world leader with a firm handshake; Could use a change from his current employment situation

Why Not: Neoliberal sissy; French

Who: Paul Manafort

Why: Loyal henchman with previous experience working for Trump; It would massively own the libs

Why Not: Pending criminal charges in state courts
