I'm sure most of his administration including Haley would agree.

Why on earth would anyone in his right mind go work for Trump? He is by all accounts the worst boss in the world, and to make matters worse, he is incredibly dumb, so he blames all his failings (which there are a lot of) on his subordinates because he is just not clever enough to figure out that maybe, just maybe, it his lack of leadership skills might be the problem. And then of course there is the issue of scandals and lies, which people who work for him are going to get sucked into and then have to lawyer up to defend themselves, all at great cost.

The only upside to working for Trump is that you might be able to last a year and then write a tell-all book. But of course you will have to get into a long line of people who have tons of dirt to spill on the zoo in the White House. Really, this presidency is a national joke, on par with Veep.

I can feel Kelley's pain... dealing with the Resistanceâ„¢ on a daily basis would be a soul-sucking experience.

From the link to the WaPo article, gotta love this excerpt:
Quote:
White House Chief of Staff John F. Kelly told the staff that he viewed his job as serving the “country first, POTUS second,” which Sims interpreted as potentially hostile to Trump’s agenda.
So, Sims - one of Trump's very own aides, I might add - acknowledges that what Trump wants, might not be the best thing for the country. MAGA!

They could be putting country over themselves. Being a Marine Kelly was used to following orders whether he agreed with them or not, but even this apparently didn't prepare him for working with Trump.

Also, this from the WaPo article:
Quote:
At times, Trump evinced less rage than a lack of interest. Sims recounts one time when Ryan was in the Oval Office explaining the ins and outs of the Republican health-care bill to the president. As Ryan droned on for 15 minutes, Trump sipped on a glass of Diet Coke, peered out at the Rose Garden, stared aimlessly at the walls and, finally, walked out.

Ryan kept talking as the president wandered down the hall to his private dining room, where he flicked on his giant flat-screen TV. Apparently, he had had enough of Ryan’s talk. It fell to Vice President Pence to retrieve Trump and convince him to return to the Oval Office so they could continue their strategy session.
Yup, that person is the leader of the free world!
