Trump is a control freak.

That's why he cannot fill all the vacant positions in the executive branch. He cannot find the people he knows he can control.

He wants to make all the decisions. He doesn't want to delegate any authority to anyone else.

If you can't do it the way Donald wants, he doesn't want you around.

If he perceives that he's in control, he praises and gushes. If not, he calls whatever he can't control a "failure", "loser", or similar pejorative. He's completely predictable in this area.

Think about his relationship to Putin and Russia.

They dance like monkeys for him. He pits them against each other for his amusement.

He doesn't know how to run an organization of more than a few.
