Bloomberg News reporter weighs in:
Bossert was a crucial figure in the West Wing. He was viewed as someone stable, got things done, trusted by Trump, knew how to communicate with Trump. This will be seen by folks in the White House as a major loss. https://t.co/te8xzKYYWc

Bossert took on a very public role during the crises in Puerto Rico, after the U.S. territory was hit by several hurricanes, and gave the administration cover for lack of action.
