WASHINGTON — House Speaker Paul Ryan says White House operations are “improving,” but he’s not saying whether he thinks that’s because of recent West Wing personnel changes.
The Wisconsin Republican says in an AP Newsmakers interview that US President Donald Trump’s White House is “learning what works and I think they are improving.”
Trump new chief of staff, retired Marine Gen. John Kelly, has been credited with instilling more order in the West Wing.
The previous chief of staff, Reince Priebus, was a Ryan friend. And Ryan says Priebus was “doing a good job of getting some discipline.”
Ryan also notes that the pace of lawmaking can prove frustrating for the businessman-turned-president.
In Ryan’s words: “Congress doesn’t work like a business.”
