Top Trump Admin Staff Turnover Hits Record 78%

NBC News reports:

The top echelon of the Trump administration has become a high-speed revolving door — with turnover in 78 percent of the positions, a new study has found. And 31 percent of those White House “A-Team” jobs have turned over more than once, the study by the Brookings Institution shows.

“It’s historic, it’s unprecedented, it’s off the charts,” the study’s author, Kathryn Dunn Tenpas, told NBC News. “I’ve never seen this kind of turnover before.” In just 32 months, President Donald Trump’s rate of change has surpassed “all of his predecessors who served four-year terms,” she said.

Reminds him of his favorite time in life, when he fired all of those apprentices on his reality show. He never feels more Presidential than when he is firing people. He models his Presidency on the Apprentice.

But every time some media outlet whispers "turmoil," Trump makes a "fake news" tweet, and it goes away again. NOBODY in the media wants to stand up to Trump.
