At the beginning of Trump's presidency I raised some issues which led me to question his management skills. The recent press about the number of departures from the White House staff causes me to return to this issue.
So far, 37 high-level Trump aides or advisers have resigned or been fired, including a chief of staff, multiple agency heads, deputy directors of the National Economic Council, the National Security Council, and the Domestic Policy Council. And there are more. In fact, 34% of the administration's top staffers and advisers have left. Compare that to 9% of Obama's appointees, 11% of Clinton's, 7% of GW's and 17% of Reagan's.
Ezra Klein attributes this fallout to Trump’s volatility, which Klein believes creates fear, confusion, and frustration. Because he changes his 'position' so often, no one knows quite what he will do or say or want.
