It seems the same pattern (on a larger scale) as that of a lot of successful businessmen.
Trump values loyalty to him personally too highly. It’s a great trait when you are winning, it is a disaster when you are not.

If you have a boss that has your back, it’s a wonderful thing. But when you have to tell him bad news—that’s where the true colors lie.
The best teamwork happens at 11 pm on a Saturday night when you are up against a shit storm. Even though the boss doesn’t do the front line work…they should be there getting the team what they need.
I don’t see that much these days.
