White House reels after week of upheaval

http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/376534-the-memo-white-house-reels-after-week-of-upheaval

"In rapid succession, communications director Hope Hicks announced her imminent departure; several damaging stories about senior adviser Jared Kushner emerged; new tariffs on steel and aluminum were announced by President Trump to the consternation of key aides; and the commander in chief’s tone vacillated on gun control.

Amid all this, Trump once again took aim at Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Twitter, and the White House had to deny that the departure of two major figures — national security adviser H.R. McMaster and chief economic adviser Gary Cohn — was in the works.

The administration’s capacity for chaos is unlike any in recent memory. Many Washington Republicans express horror at the never-ending controversies."
