The Trump Administration Talent Vacuum
We have seen White Houses engulfed by scandal before. But we have never seen a White House implode before it had the time to staff up. The Nixon, Reagan and Clinton White Houses had hired quality teams by the time their scandals came. They could continue to function, sort of, even when engulfed.
.. This is a White House in which the internal nickname for the chief of staff is Rancid.
.. As current staff leaves or gets pushed out, look for Trump to try to fill the jobs with business colleagues who also have no experience in government.
.. Members of this Congress are not going to be judged by where they set the corporate tax rate. They will be defined by where they stood on Donald Trump’s threat to civic integrity.
