Management Experts See Chaos in the White House

Political Wire

Boston Globe

“Management experts from across the country view Trump’s tumultuous style in the White House as deeply troubling, unlikely to produce the type of helpful internal team debate that can solve difficult problems and well outside the norms of a coherent management philosophy.”

“In just one month, the Trump administration has seen a key Cabinet secretary sunk by bipartisan opposition, a national security adviser asked to resign after misleading the vice president and potentially lying to the FBI, and a refugee and immigration travel ban hastily written then halted by courts. Trump attempted to gain the upper hand with a rambling news conference in the East Room of the White House, where he made seemingly off-handed remarks about sinking a Russian warship and mused on the destructive power of a nuclear holocaust.”

“The president’s impulsiveness and reliance on his own gut reactions don’t appear to have any real check within the system he’s created.”

And then there's the Alternate Reality

“We don’t have problems in the West Wing.” — Reince Priebus / White House chief of staff
