Those who work there, however, say that such just isn't so--that the atmosphere in the west wing is pleasant and cheerful and optimistic and folks are just coming to work every day and doing their jobs. It is the leftwing media who so desperately want us to believe it is nothing but chaos because they so despise the President they will go to any lengths, however dishonest, to destroy him. But staff turnover in the Trump administration is not all that remarkable when compared to Obama and Bush 43 or Bill Clinton and/or others. So they exaggerate Trump's staff turnovers as chaos and a huge deal while simply calmly reporting those in previous administrations:
n a newspaper piece about a White House in turmoil, a prominent paper described an atmosphere of beleaguered aides confused by their unscripted boss, a man who needed a "rudder on what many believed was a loose and listing ship."
This is not from a recent piece about President Donald Trump's White House. The Washington Post, in 1997, wrote this about President Bill Clinton and the state of his presidency in mid-1994. The White House staff, wrote the Post, "was suffering from what increasingly looked to be callowness and naivete." Enter veteran congressman and new chief of staff Leon Panetta, who learned, as he put it, that "no one had an organizational chart." He added, "As far as I know, anybody who walked down the hall walked in (to the Oval Office)." Clinton, whose approval ratings were at one time about as bad as Trump's, went on to an easy re-election.
As to Trump's changing of White House personnel, President Barack Obama, over his two terms, had five chiefs of staff. One "interim" chief of staff lasted less time than did Reince Priebus. Bill Clinton and Ronald Reagan, two-term presidents, had four each.
Obama had four secretaries of Defense, more than Clinton and Reagan. In the case of Obama's first three, upon departure, they had significant policy differences with the boss.
Leon Panetta, Obama's second secretary of Defense, complained about what he considered Obama's poor leadership, one that "avoids the battle, complains and misses opportunities." On Iraq, Panetta felt that Obama "kind of lost his way" when he pulled out all the troops over Panetta's objection. . .
