Mike Huckabee Says Donald Trump Tires His Staff Out Because He's Like A 32-Year-Old.

Mike Huckabee acknowledged Monday that the turnover of staff at President Donald Trump’s White House is likely “a little higher than normal.”

However, the former Arkansas governor and frequent Trump booster has put the staffing turmoil down in part to Trump’s “vigor of somebody who’s about 32 years old.”

“This is a tough president to work for, and not because he’s a difficult person individually, but he is very demanding and very few people can keep up with him,” Huckabee said on Fox Business’ “Mornings with Maria.”

Huckabee, whose daughter Sarah Huckabee Sanders is the White House press secretary, also attributed the revolving door of aides in Trump’s administration to it being “under siege.”

“It’s attacked by the Democratic Party, it’s attacked by virtually every political operative in the nation, and it’s especially attacked by members of the press,” Huckabee said. “So it makes doing a job very difficult because of all the distractions. And I think people just grow weary of it.”

It's not "vigor", it's raging paranoia and anger fueled by Diet Coke and Adderall.

Over 3/4 of Trump's Administration has been replaced or fired and in some cases they have the same job filled than twice! Huckabee and his daughter should just back to Arkansas?!?!?

Like George Castanza, if you believe a lie, it's not a lie. So, Mikey actually believes this stuff and then can believe he's not lying about it.

is that 32 in Dog Years?

Trump was the guy that needed a golf cart to keep up with the walking Angela Merkel at the G7 last year - and Merkel is only a few years younger than him. (not to mention the other leaders, but they were all younger)
