A White House Adviser Publicly Said What Republicans Wont: Trump Is Failing As President

40. True enough. It's hard to see where a devout lifelong military man would fit in here.

The military is nothing if not CHAIN-OF-COMMAND conscious. It's built-in. It is sacrosanct. The hierarchy is EVERYTHING. And if this so-called White House is awash with discord and multiple little fiefdoms and power centers and openly hostile and incompatible warring factions - just because the boss somehow likes chaos - this guy will be a VERY bad fit. And he won't last long. For his own sense of self-respect, if nothing else. I can't see how he'll find himself to be a good fit. This madhouse operates counter to EVERYTHING he knows and into which he's put his faith, and has followed to the letter, and under which he's worked his way up the ranks and achieved success and respect, over years and years of military service.

I don't see how he'll be allowed to do it his way, the way he's used to doing it in the military command structure. I just don't see how this will work. Nobody else in there (with rare exceptions) has even served in the military. And they're all basically in it for themselves, while busily genuflecting to The Donald and trying to show outwardly that they're only in it for him. Bullshit. They're all busy trying to build their own power structures and their own individual protection rackets and force fields. They're all most interested in loyalty - that is - loyalty to THEMSELVES and how long THEY can survive in those big-shot White House jobs they still have. They'll say it's about loyalty to the so-called "pResident" (since you bet they know how important that loyalty thing is to him). But it's really loyalty to their own self-preservation.
