We found ours in Trump.
To think that an iconoclast President can assemble a WH staff that agrees with him in every way or is by nature iconoclastic like the President is wishful thinking and might even be dangerous.
Just as a "traditionalist" staff might want the President to rein in his wrecking ball nature just a little or even modify his style altogether, a purely iconoclastic staff would have wanted to go their own way and add their own touches to the wrecking ball WH culture.
In other words, you are damned if you do and damned if you don't.
Of course, Gen Kelly wanted to hold the President back...and of course there are thousands of other times when staff might have complained.
But in the end, we still got the wrecking ball President we want and need so all these staff complaints didn't change Trump one iota.
Ergo, all's well that ends well.
Strangely enough, though, President Trump would not have been elected without the tactics that he used and is continuing to use. He doesn’t really want to hurt anyone.
But for one, he knows that our country’s natural resources could not support a billion people from troubled cultures during rough times (drought, etc.). Notice the seemingly unending intercultural strife in many nations. In over a hundred years of efforts, our self-described philanthropists haven’t taught their favorite foreign cultures to stop their genocidal infighting or to support themselves.
The President also knows that a horrible collapse caused by all kinds of debt is imminent without an enormous and sustained effort to manufacture much more on American soil to generated sustainable revenues along with an effort to cut much unnecessary government spending.
Unless we join him in efforts to produce and to cut spending, we risk falling to the unthinkable. Large foreign nations and their growing numbers of satellite nations are building up to annihilate us and enslave the world.
It’s time for all good Americans to put petty struggles between us aside. As for bribed politicians, bureaucrats and their favorite business ties, some of them bought a bill of goods and are on the receiving end of what they’ve been selling. Some of them should get out of the way and get real jobs (e.g., factories). They are “unsustainable.” There’s no sense in letting them take the whole U.S.A. down with the weight of their corn-fed heinies.
