I just read an article in The New York Times that portrays the president's situation as bad, and getting badder by the day. The article, "At a Besieged White House, Tempers Flare and Confusion Swirls," talks about the intensifying stress the president and his staff have been feeling as of late. Especially with "[T]he disclosure that President Trump divulged classified intelligence to two high-ranking Russian officials was a new blow to an already dispirited and besieged White House staff still recovering from the uproar and recriminations from the president's firing of James B. Comey, the F.B.I. director."
The article goes on to say that the president's mood has become "sour and dark," and that he has been taking his anger out on his staff. To me, that fits to a T how dysfunctional bosses run their companies. Their sole goal is the maximization of profits, and the quicker, the better. All other concerns are not really a concern. Only if it impinges upon profits and how fast we make them.
President Trump appears to fit in this club. His goal is not profits, but more likely power (and maybe the profits come later down the line). It looks like he and his staff are starting to reap the whirlwind.
The country may be next.
