Trump's strategy against Russiagate, Comeygate and Blabbergate? Bring in new WH-staff!!!

http://www.rawstory.com/2017/05/basically-chaos-at-all-times-trump-mulls-changes-as-yet-another-scandal-engulfs-white-house/

According to the New York Times’ Maggie Haberman, Trump spent Monday—before the Post story dropped—“phoning outside advisers, saying he knows he has to make changes but isn’t certain what to do.”

He is reportedly considering a massive shake-up to his administration. Encouraged by son-in-law Jared Kushner, those changes reportedly include shaking up his communications team and doing away with chief White House counselor Steve Bannon and Chief of Staff Reince Priebus.

For the White House staff, officials told Politico they hope the president can avoid any major changes before he travels abroad Friday.




------------------

Because that's what he does.

He doesn't realize that HE is the problem.

He thinks that firing the current people and bringing in new, better people will magically make his administration run smoothly.

That's why he e.g. brought in Ivanka and Jared.




Donald Trump is not a man of ideas or of vision or of negotiation-talent. Such a man would not display such horrible incompetence. Such a man's first instinct upon a crisis would not be to hire better spokespeople.

And if we're lucky, he might fire some Russian agents in the process, too.

Is there any chance he might hire staff that is worse than the current staff? He could fire Bannon and hire Richard Spencer or Milo, I guess... Well, maybe they're less strategically thinking than Bannon so even that could be a plus.
