March 7, 2018 at 7:35 am EST By Taegan Goddard
President Trump once presided over a reality show in which a key cast member exited each week. The same thing seems to be happening in his White House, the AP reports.
New York Times: More than one in three top White House officials left by the end of Mr. Trumps first year and fewer than half of the 12 positions closest to the president are still occupied by the same people as when he came into office Cohns departure will bring the turnover number to 43 percent.
Politico: Some worry the White House could return to the uncontrolled days immediately following Trumps inauguration, when many West Wing jobs were still unfilled and former strategist Steve Bannon was writing executive orders with policy adviser Stephen Miller, including the disastrous travel ban that was ultimately knocked down by multiple courts.

policies. He rolled out his brilliant tariff plan due to being pissed off about Hope Hicks's testimony.

Like the travel ban? How does it work that Trump can just all by himself change trade policy?
