The worst job in Washington right now: Working for Trump

As Trump lurches through a series of crises, exhausted White House aides polish résumés and face a new reality

By Ashley Parker and Abby Phillip May 17 at 7:59 PM

As Donald Trump has grown increasingly angry and frustrated with his White House staff, the beleaguered targets of his ire have a quietly roiling gripe of their own — their boss, the president himself.

Since he fired FBI Director James B. Comey, Trump has lurched through crises of his own making — from the explosive report Monday that he had revealed highly classified intelligence to Russian officials to the bombshell Tuesday that he had urged Comey to end the federal investigation into Michael Flynn, his former national security adviser.

In his wake remain his exhausted aides and deputies, the frequent targets of Trump’s wrath as they struggle to control an uncontrollable chief executive and labor to explain away his stumbles.

Wednesday evening brought yet another challenging development for the White House, as the Justice Department announced a special counsel to investigate possible collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian government to interfere with the 2016 presidential election.

his mistreated workers can't help but spill the beans. They should all quit and see what happens. Write tell all books. Make a made for tv movie about it. I'm sure a few of them are ready to get out.



Especially with dipshit constantly reminding everyone that life isn't fair! He's being punished by the demons in his own head.
