https://www.alternet.org/2019/09/reporter-reveals-how-trump-managed-to-get-the-presidency-he-has-always-wanted/snip of article:
When the media reported last week that former National Security Advisor John Bolton was leaving the Trump Administration either because he quit or because President Donald Trump fired him it was obvious that Bolton had grown increasingly frustrated with the president. But Bolton was hardly the only member of Trumps administration who became fed up: everyone from former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson to former Defense Secretary James Mattis has complained that Trump couldnt stand it when someone disagreed with him. And journalist Nancy Cook, in a report for Politico, asserts that Trump now has the type of administration he wants: an administration of loyalists and sycophants.
Trump, Cook observes, has had the highest senior staff turnover of any recent president by far which has left fewer forces trying to bend the president to the usual process of the top ranks of government. And now that Trump is receiving less pushback from staff and advisers, Cook says, the Trump Administration is looking more and more like the Trump Organization.
Timothy OBrien, author of Trump Nation: The Art of Being the Donald and executive editor of Bloomberg Opinion, told Politico, The Trump Im seeing now, to me, is the same Donald Trump who has existed for the 50 of his last 73 years. This is very much in keeping with how he rolled in the business world. The only difference is now he is doing it on the global stage.
We need to get him out, he's a wanna be dictator.
