President Trump insists his isn't a White House in chaos, but it's hard to deny the near constant churn of key aides, including Tuesday's announced departure of economic adviser Gary Cohn. A full 43 percent of top-level positions in the Trump White House have seen turnover. That is not normal.

In fact, the Trump White House has had more turnover among senior aides in the first 13 1/2 months of Trump's term than his four most recent predecessors had after two years.

"After two full years, President Obama was at 24 percent and President Bush was at 33 percent," said Kathryn Dunn Tenpas of the Brookings Institution and the White House Transition Project, whose research specialty includes staff turnover. "So, [Trump] already passed them with his first-year turnover. It continues to surge."

In the hours before Cohn's resignation was announced, Trump foreshadowed a shake-up.

"Yeah, there'll be people — I'm not going to be specific — but there'll be people that change," Trump said at a Tuesday afternoon press conference. "They always change. Sometimes they want to go out and do something else."

One would note he was speaking of "people," plural, as in multiple expected departures. Trump tweeted much the same Tuesday morning.

In addition to Cohn's departure, several other staffers have recently left or announced their imminent resignations. Communications director Hope Hicks and Jared Kushner advisers Josh Raffel and Reed Cordish have all announced their departures while staff secretary Rob Porter was ousted after allegations of spousal abuse came to light.

A big question now is: Who will be next? Cohn had assembled a team of policy aides who helped craft the White House infrastructure plan and tax framework. With Cohn leaving, will they stay? History would indicate that when someone at Cohn's level leaves, others follow.

"It's a domino effect. When a senior person leaves, there are other people that leave as well," Tenpas said. "Kind of by necessity because the new person isn't necessarily going to want to work with them."

And if the swirl of Washington chatter is accurate, Cohn isn't the only big-name White House official on the knife's edge. Chief of staff John Kelly, national security adviser H.R. McMaster and adviser/son-in-law Kushner are all reportedly earning the ire of the president.

And turnover is usually higher in the second year of a presidency.

High turnover shows poor leadership.

http://www.businessinsider.com/why-have-so-many-people-have-left-trumps-white-house-2018-3


Brookings researchers stated that while previous US presidents had relied on expertise and professional qualifications when deciding who to appoint to crucial White House posts, Trump has valued personal loyalty to him and his election campaign as a primary deciding factor.

Because Trump sourced many of his top staffers from his own business circle and support base, many individuals in his White House have lacked the qualifications to do their jobs, leading to lackluster performances and the desire among many former staffers to use their brief tenures in the administration to seek private sector jobs afterward. Bannon, who went back to work at Breitbart News and a host of other private ventures after his departure, serves as a particularly salient example of this idea.

The second factor Brookings researchers identified was the ever-present cycle of chaos within Trump's White House. Lack of communication between officials on key speeches and policy points like the newly unveiled steel tariffs reveal that coordination between officials within the White House is remarkably weak, leading to mistakes and a poor public image that incentivizes Trump to get rid of those at fault. Brookings also stated that this creates a vicious cycle in which chaos breeds a high rate of turnover, which in turn continues to contribute to the chaos that cause it.

He had addressed turnover issue with humor already, why media continues to focus on it instead of reporting on big spending, gun control, Wall payment type important issues?

Trump at Gridiron dinner: Who will leave WH next, Miller or Melania?
03/03/18
"So many people have been leaving the White House. It’s invigorating since you want turnover. I like chaos. It really is good. Who’s going to be the next to leave? Steve Miller, or Melania?" Trump quipped, according to White House pool reports.

High turnover could be due to poor leadership, but it could also be due it being a shitty job or shitty working conditions or shitty pay.

Do Zips realize that this is a very good thing, exemplary in fact . . . that Zips are gonna twist around disingenuously.
Rinse Pubis as first Chief-of-Staff was the worst appointment ever by any President in the history of the universe.

Obamacare individual mandate gone, and, DACA recipients on their eventual Path To Mexico.
Clean out the sh!thole appointments from the starting of the first term as much as needed, until the First Team starters are set. Perfect.



"You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Zippyjuan again." Dumb and dumber stayin' together -
after they kissed and made-up . . . their bromance continues - not that there's anything wrong with that.

After all, there were Obama sleeper agents in the transition besides Comey et al. (See Federal Employee PN849-114 search)
Reice Priebus was a Trump olive branch to the RNC after decimating the GOP field, imho.

No one needs to be stirred up and get in a tizzy producing charts about the PC-ness of staying with a losing group, who wouldn't make a move -
Yep, bring up the AAA players ready to get 'er done in the big leagues.

I do not know that white house staff turnover is a bad thing . Now if Zip posted that all incumbents in the house from california were turned over I am sure that could not be bad as well .

This is why Democratic Underground continues to thrive while we're shriveling up. They don't suffer the trolls.

I was surprised to see that Obama's was higher than Bush's. The media didn't fuss about Obama's, I guess.

Absolutely. It was a +rep-worthy post.

I want to know how he did it.
