Right now, it's a mixed bag. This concerns people. Right now, with Bannon and Priebus, he's managed to make everybody a bit nervous.

I personally don't think that the dynamic of Bannon/Preibus has a long shelf life.  These factions in his administration will weed each other out in time, with the weaker ones becoming scapegoats to the ones he comes to favor most when the shit hits the fan.  Just my opinion, obviously.  I hope Bannon ends up out on his ass first.  

All the reports I've read point to Trump trusting his kids and son-in law more than anyone.  That's tough because he can't really but them in an official cabinet.  At the end of the day, I think Kushner is his de-facto chief of staff w/o a title.  He allegedly got Christie busted down a few pegs b/c Christie put his old man behind bars.  Kushner also, ironically has family ties to the Democratic Party in New Jersey.   

People can have all the titles they want, but I think if the kids or Kushner have an opinion, it will be weighted heavily.
