Former VA chief Shulkin: 'Chaos' probably a 'pretty accurate term' to describe Trump White House
Former Veterans Affairs Secretary David Shulkin said on Monday that the “chaos” in the early months of the Trump White House ultimately made it easier to pass major legislation to reform the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
Shulkin, the only holdover from the Obama administration in President Trump’s Cabinet, told an audience at the Harvard School of Public Health that he entered the Trump administration “in a brand-new time, where they were just trying to figure out how they wanted things to work."
“Some people use the word chaos — that would probably be a pretty accurate term — as they were trying to figure out how they wanted to run the organization,” Shulkin said.
“Having a very loose management style in the White House was actually something that worked well for me because I came, I presented the ideas, the president said, ‘You know that sounds like a good thing to do for veterans, let’s do it.’ And I was able to get a lot done.”
