President Trump has been surrounded by Swamp Creatures from the very beginning. He got a lot of really bad advice on staffing. He probably thought he had a political party behind him. He did not.
Henceforth, Trump needs to get rid of all Washington insiders and bring in Trump organization people only.
Pissed off he was fired and called a moron. Well, bye..
I had a feeling Trump would have these issues his first few years, not everyone had Trump’s best interests in mind, and Trump was just going to have to ferret them out.
I think his second term will be much smoother.

Trump’s mistake is he keeps acting like he’s in the private sector, where a majority stake keeps him at the helm of his corporations. Presidencies are awarded to those who get a majority of the citizenry’s votes. Public relations matter, and a key aspect of a presidency’s PR efforts is making the public think that he treats his employees well.
Unlike Romney, Trump hasn’t said “I love firing people”. But he might as well have, given the extremely fraught relations he’s had with the people he’s hired. Unlike the unknown fame-seekers on The Apprentice, these are substantial people who have acquired substantial reputations in their own right. The one thing they have in common is friction with Trump. What are low-info voters supposed to conclude? Some will think Trump is a scumbag. To paraphrase Churchill, when you have to fire a man, it costs nothing to be polite.

For Trump, it’s like pulling teeth.
