His business mode of chaos may have worked for a small, family-owned, mafia-style real estate business in New York, but it doesn't translate to running an entire fucking government.

He just likes chaos, and people who genuflect to him.

But that probably has an effect.

7. He has a sadistic streak in him, I think, likes to use and hurt people...at least emotionally.

9. the cabinet is the last place for a mutiny.

congress can't impeach the bastard and it only would take a handful of republicans to join democrats. they're not going to do it even though they don't technically answer to donnie and many of them would likely keep their jobs even if they voted to impeach.

but cabinet members owe their jobs precisely to donnie and would likely be gone in a flash if they mutinied. even if they succeeded, pence would very likely want his own clowns instead of donnie's clowns.

the 25th is extremely unlikely to ever be used as a way to remove a president unless that president is comatose, or had a truly debilitating stroke, or something comparable. any removal for mental illness would have to be truly barking mad mental illness, the kind that *everyone* says, ok, he's nuts. unfortunately, donnie's profound personality defects don't cut it by that standard.



nope, donnie's personnel record is a mess because he's a profoundly horrible boss. bad at hiring, bad at firing, bad at delegating, bad at empowering, bad at giving respect, bad at earning respect, bad at engendering loyalty, bad at everything managerial.

of course he has high turnover. he burns people left and right, what else would you expect.
