have to subscribe to read the whole thing, but it is just the latest crap to throw and see if it sticks. I know Obummer never had staff changes at all but it is a huge story if any staff changes happen under Trump. Another nothing burger for the MSM to harp on... hilarious

If the problem with The Washington Post is the ownership, what's the problem with the WSJ?

So, according to this article, the leaks coming from WH staff are due to Trimp's flying-by-the-seat management style?

Oh?
Really?

Begs the question what rapid fire willy-nilly decision making has to do with handling secured info like it was unsecured.
So I put (the dead dog) on her doorstep!

Opening paragraph:

White House aides are leaking that President Trump is considering a staff shakeup to stop them from leaking, and the casualty on Monday was communications director Mike Dubke. Mr. Trump certainly needs to fix his White House mess, but staff changes won’t matter unless the President accepts that he is the root of the dysfunction.

His dysfunction is what has the alt-left up in arms and is why their proxies embedded throughout the administration are leaking everything negative that they can.

So it sounds like the author got it right.

Didn't Trump assemble his own administration?

He only gets to assemble the top, and the democrats are slow rolling that. The "career" staff that came on during the 8years of Obama, plus Jr. level admin functionaries still in place due to lack of replacements, are the ones wreaking havoc. But you knew that.

Got it. Another explanation is that Trump is just an asshole.

Yes. He is an asshole. But having an asshole boss doesn't validate nor excuse the leaking. That is on the leakers, not Trump. The article seems to be saying messing w classified intel is okay if your boss is an ass. Well, that's wrong.

How your team performs under you ultimately comes back to you. Trump is no victim.
