Trump Touts the ‘Great Energy!’ in His White House as He Hints of More Exits to Come
Who’s Next to Walk Out the Door, Be Forced Out the Door, or Fired?
As a candidate Donald Trump ran on the made-up image of a wise businessman adept at running a massive empire. A large part of his claim was wrapped up in his realty TV show persona that painted him as an expert on people – training, hiring, motivating, and firing.Â
During an interview less than two months before the election (video above) he was asked how he would choose people to fill his administration.Â
“Track record, great competence, love of what they’re doing, how they’re getting along with people, references,” he claimed. And he repeatedly touted how he would always hire “the best people.”
It was all false.
Trump has consistently appointed or hired people who have few if any qualifications or competence for the jobs he’s placed them in – HUD Secretary Ben Carson is one of the best examples.Â
As president, Trump has the worst record of hiring – hundreds, if not thousands of positions have gone unfilled. And his turnover rate of 34 percent is the highest of any president in modern history.
Reports from several media sources make clear the atmosphere inside the Trump White House – battled daily by reports of the various Russia investigations, corruption, graft, lying, inappropriate use of taxpayer funds – make clear it’s imploding.
So naturally Trump tweeted Tuesday morning how “great” the energy is in the White House – while hinting there will be even more people exiting.
Apparently “great energy” is humiliating cabinet members in public and top aides in private.
The new Fake News narrative is that there is CHAOS in the White House. Wrong! People will always come & go, and I want strong dialogue before making a final decision. I still have some people that I want to change (always seeking perfection). There is no Chaos, only great Energy!
