it doesn't t work that way boys and girls - govt is not a business - it even
has its own set of accounting rules. the purpose of govt is to provide
services - the purpose of business to to provide profits. no wonder -
Donald Trump, like many a businessman-turned-politician before him, argued that if he was elected, he would bring his managerial acumen to Washington, making government run like a business with efficiency and skill.
What we’ve seen instead is the most chaotic and incompetent White House in living memory. And it’s only getting worse.
So now, in a White House that Trump once described as “a fine-tuned machine,” the chief of staff and the communications director are in open war with one another.
Trump doesn’t like anyone stealing too much of his spotlight. That might suggest that Scaramucci’s ultimate fate lies with the editors of Time magazine; if they put him on their cover, he’s in big trouble. It isn’t just that Trump doesn’t want to share the attention (though that’s true); what he really dislikes is someone getting a lot of attention for having an agenda that’s separate from the aggrandizement of Donald J. Trump.

I’m sure this all makes the Trump administration an exciting place to work — from one day to the next you never know who’s at war with whom, who’s getting fired, what sweeping policy changes will be made, or what the president will tweet next. Most of Trump’s agenda is stalled, half the key jobs are vacant, senior officials can’t wait to get out of town, and everybody’s leaking to the press about what a mess it all is. This is one fine-tuned machine all right.
