Trump's White House is 'scared to death' and already hunkered down in 'survival mode': report

The past several days have been tumultuous for the Trump White House, and administration sources are now leaking information about the mood of panic that’s emanating from the West Wing.

Sources tell Axios’s Mike Allen that the White House at the moment is in a state of “borderline chaos” and that “some staff is in survival mode” and is “scared to death” by what’s about to happen.

A “West Wing confidant,” meanwhile, tells Allen that it looks like “nobody is in charge” at the White House at the moment, and that the scandal surrounding fired National Security Adviser Michael Flynn shows the Trump administration is either “reckless” or simply has “total incompetence.”

The trouble for the White House this week began when Flynn resigned after it was revealed that he lied about discussing American sanctions with the Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak during a phone call this past December.

to lead this country.

Now more than ever, Americans need to realize that being president is an extremely difficult JOB. It's not like being a privileged CEO at some corporation where he/she can rule with an iron fist and his underlings cower when he/she walks by.

Although tRump is a terror for our country, he's at least good for ONE thing: showing idiot Americans that leading as president and leading as a CEO/businessman are diametrically different positions.
