The high-profile Trump White House departures
The Trump White House had more first-year departures than any other president in at least 40 years — and the departures haven't stopped. The latest resignation: Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke, who President Trump announced will be leaving at the end of this year.
Why it matters: The first-term revolving door of Trump's highest Cabinet officials is not normal, although some turnover should be expected now that we're past the midterms.
1. Michael Flynn
•Title: National Security Adviser
•Start date: Jan. 20, 2017
•End date: Feb. 13, 2017

Repeating the wisdom of Heraclitus; character is destiny (foretelling future behavior).
Trump cannot and never could judge character which is why he has surrounded himself
w/the likes of Cohen, Manafort, Scaramucci and all the rest of his clown posse.
Naysayers will disagree yet Trump's future is plainly ominous because of these
self-inflicted and unforced errors which he compulsively repeats.

He chooses liberal leaning people over the ones who were fighting for his campaign priority like Sessions. I wonder how it is that we lost Congress so badly when Trump spent all of that time campaigning before mid terms? I didn't listen, but was he promoting Conservative people for Congress? Or did he abandon the House completely. It says something. That either people have seen his inability or he never supported Republicans for Congress.
All of that money for campaigning.

Sound observation.
A family member knew Trump's eldest sister, quite well, and
according to her, he was a pragmatist having no discernible philosophy.
Principled conservatives need to be wary as this could end very poorly.

I think it could be a whole new ball game the next two years and Conservatives will not like it. I think it will be one compromise after another.
