Why exactly is the Trump White House so royally screwed up? Is it because so few of the top staffers have any prior experience in government? Or might it be because Trump and his team tried to do too many difficult things too quickly?
According to GOP strategist Rick Wilson, the blame lies squarely with Donald Trump himself because, as Wilson notes in a piece he wrote for The Daily Beast, institutions tend to resemble the people who lead them:
As long as Trump is president, there will never be a pivot. There is no better version of Trump, simply waiting for the right org chart or the right staffer.

(37,428 posts)Can his approval rating go so low that he will have to work for a living? He'll hate it more even than he hates having to pretend to work now, and if he did try to work, would he just fuck things up even worse?
I would predict he'll quit before he ever agrees to that, as I've predicted (incorrectly) for two years.

The Trouble With Trumps White House Is Donald Trump
If Bannon is cut loose, the old Washington adage of better to have your enemy inside the tent pissing out will come into play.
The cancer in the presidency isnt his staffthough they reflect his shoddy intellect, his shallow impulsiveness, his loose grasp of reality, and Chinese-menu ideology. The problem is Trump himself, and nothing and no one can change that. ....
