White House staffers endure daily diet of ‘snubs and belittling jokes’ by ‘loyalty-demanding’ Trump

“Enduring public humiliation has become a defining characteristic of Spicer’s tenure in the White House,” Post reporter Ashley Parker wrote. “Yet being excluded from the papal visit still stunned his colleagues, many of whom expressed pity for him and were visibly uncomfortable talking about the slight.”
As exemplified by Spicer’s treatment, seemingly-personal rebuffs and backhanded compliments are reportedly an expected part of the White House culture under the 45th president.
“In Trump’s White House,” Parker wrote, “aides serve a president who demands absolute loyalty — but who doesn’t always offer it in return. Trump prefers a management style in which even compliments can come laced with a bite, and where enduring snubs and belittling jokes, even in public, is part of the job.”
According to the Post report, these “belittling” comments are directed at everyone from Chief-of-Staff Reince Preibus (who Trump reportedly refers to as “Reince-y”) to Vice President Mike Pence.

I don't like the guy, but he's put his time in. He deserves better treatment than this.
Trump is just showing us what an asshole he is to everyone. Not worth it.
