see eg https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=Fln44TTgDLIC&pg=PA224&lpg=PA224 :

"Which of Hitler's offices would actually make the decision? His chancellery actually contained six."
or

But inside, Hitler was pursuing methods which resulted in administrative chaos.
The Grand Reich Chancellery was a hive of political infighting and backbiting, as rivals with ill-defined jobs fought against each other for Hitler's favour.
Hitler's working life was organised not by one private office, but by five: the office of the Reich Chancellery, under Hans Heinrich Lammers; the office of Hitler's personal adjutant, under Wilhelm Bruckner; the office of the Presidential Chancellery, under Otto Meissner; on the second floor, the office of the Chancellery of the Führer, under Philipp Bouhler; and finally, the office representing the Führer's deputy, under Martin Bormann.
Although based in another building, Bormann was most often at Hitler's side.
All of these different offices claimed to represent Hitler.
A large portion of their time was spent fighting each other.

why not have 10 or twenty ? Divert some of the money for the wall and build a Coliseum. Stage gladiator contests between all these chiefs. Thumbs up, thumbs down, wild animals. Now the admission and TV rights could put a dent in the national debt.

I mean hell, it's only served us well for a couple hundred years, but Donnie Short Fingers knows way better than our founders and all the Presidents that came before him.

I feel like Tesio in the Godfather... pretty soon, there won't be one place in Brooklyn where I can hang my hat

Except this time, Brooklyn is America
