Trump humiliated his own DHS secretary because he suspects she's 'a Bush family plant': report

Reports dropped on Thursday night that President Donald Trump had humiliated his own Department of Homeland Security chief Kirstjen Nielsen at a recent cabinet meeting, which prompted her to consider resigning.

According to the New York Times’ Maggie Haberman, Trump’s dispute with Nielsen isn’t just about policy — rather, it’s part of a broader paranoid delusion about where his own DHS chief’s loyalties truly lie.

Haberman’s tweet came in response to a tweet by fellow New York Times reporter Julie Davis, who explained that Nielsen’s resignation threat had been “a long time in coming” because “Nielsen and Trump have clashed often and she has been a frequent target of his freewheeling immigration rants.”

According to the New York Times’ report, Trump has been angry that Nielsen has been “resisting his direction that parents be separated from their children when families cross illegally into the United States.”

employees are doing. Smart and capable managers focus on supporting their employees and trusting them to have the expertise necessary to accomplish their jobs. Dumb ones have a sense that they aren't really capable of understanding everything that happens underneath them and get frustrated and resentful. The truth is that nobody can manage large groups of people successfully without on some level trusting those people underneath them.

I guess one can decide for themselves whether Trump is a good manager/leader (but I don't think he is).
