Trump has run through 3 Directors of Communication already - 4 if you count Sean Spicer temping

In the position.

This has got to be a record of some kind



https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2017/07/31/anthony-scaramucci-removed-as-white-house-communications-director/?utm_term=.d350d893d059

The abrupt removal of Scaramucci, a wealthy financier who had backed Trump during the campaign, punctuated a day that began with a Trump tweet declaring that despite the upheaval of the past two weeks, there was “no WH chaos!” in his administration.

No other post in the White House has experienced as much upheaval as the communications director job. It was first given to Jason Miller, a Trump campaign aide who stepped down from the post during the transition before even being sworn in. It was then given to Republican operative Michael Dubke, who resigned in May. In the intervening weeks, Spicer had taken on those responsibilities in addition to his role as press secretary until Scaramucci was named to the position on July 21 over his objections.

Yep, that's it. It's definitely the MESSAGE. Chump isn't flailing because of the:

treason, lying, grifting, pussy-grabbing, nepotism, leaking, tweeting, election-hacking, and GROSS INCOMPETENCE!

He holds himself blameless, even while flailing as you note for all the reasons you list.

He has plenty of free time on his hands. If you want something done right...

OTOH, it might cut into his valuable golfing time.
