The West Wing reverts to early disarray

Jonathan Swan, Mike Allen 1 hour ago

In less than a week, months of progress in bringing order to President Trump's West Wing have been reversed.

The resignation of Staff Secretary Rob Porter has brought back many of the chaotic characteristics of the early months, according to conversations we have been having.

Leaking in real time.

Internal finger-pointing, with factions turning on each other.

Frenzied internal speculation.

Staff members admitting they lack faith in the chief of staff's judgment.

More fires than aides can put out.
