Christopher Ruddy, CEO of Newsmax Media, told CNN's Brian Stelter on Sunday's edition of "Reliable Sources" that White House chief of staff Reince Priebus "clearly doesn't know how federal agencies work." He said President Trump was "battle tested," but that the White House is "not showing the kind of order we need to see." "I think the President is not getting the back-up he needs in the operation of the White House. Sometimes the push-back that he needs, which you would have with a stronger White House counsel. That you would have with a stronger White House chief of staff," Ruddy said. "I think there is a lot of weakness coming out of the chief of staff. I think Reince Priebus is a good guy, well-intentioned, but he clearly doesn't know how the federal agencies work," he said. "He doesn't have a really good system. He doesn't know how the communications flow." "I think Sean Spicer is doing a very good job under difficult circumstances. But I do think the president is not getting the backup he needs. And sometimes the pushback that he needs -- which you would have with a stronger White House.. chief of staff." Ruddy tweeted later that afternoon: "Reince just briefed me on new WH plans. Impressive! CNN today my personal view. Told him I have 'open mind' based on his results." <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Reince just briefed me on new WH plans. Impressive!
