May 29, 2018 at 8:15 am EDT By Taegan Goddard
Washington Post: The White House communications directors job has been vacant for exactly two months. But in practice, it has been filled since the day Hope Hicks said farewell to her unofficial replacement President Trump himself.
The president also has unofficially performed the roles of many other senior staffers in recent months, leaving the people holding those jobs to execute on his instincts and ideas. And thats exactly how Trump likes his West Wing.
Largely gone are the warring factions that dominated life at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in the first year of Trumps term, replaced by solo players many with personal connections to the president and their own miniature fiefdoms laboring to do their jobs and survive.

Can't you see him running from desk to desk trying to find the ringing phone.

Perhaps "lumbering" would be a more accurate term.

Trump doesn't like working. It's beneath him.
