Trump Weary
It was reported Trump had grown weary of the tactics by some staffers. The intent of this was to move Trump away from any direction they felt was a problem.
The tactic wasn’t new but Trump recognized that this was a plan to slow down his agenda or anything he had set his mind to.
The hope was the delay would cause him to forget about it, staffers often said it wasn’t ready yet or they needed more time.
Staff at the White House always have a hard time controlling Trump. He was known as one never to stick to a script and that created many problems for him and his staff.
Trump had more than one Chief of Staff since taking office. John Kelly had served the longest of them all, but even he was now looking obsolete.
It was clear that the President didn’t like anyone telling him what to do. Though Kelly had been able to do so from the get go, it didn’t last very long.
Trump may have had enough of these tactics and any attempt to slow him down could backfire. Trump was known to fire people swiftly and this may just continue to be the way he deals with any delays.
