2:40Now PlayingC-SPAN's Ceasefire — Former Trump White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney and former Biden official Steve Ricchetti each share their thoughts on President Trump's firing of staff during each of his administrations, and dissect how his decision making may have future potential impacts.
"The extra stability this time doesn't surprise me…The dirty little secret is Trump really doesn’t like firing people. I fired most everybody. My first day on the job I fired Jim Mattis. ," said Mulvaney. "Despite his personality…it's just not fun to fire people, and a lot of times it falls to the Chief of staff to do it."
