Nobody Wants to Work with President* Trump

The guy who last summer said "I alone can fix it" is suddenly lacking collaborators.

I hate to mention it, but the executive branch of the government is coming apart faster than the person who's supposedly in charge of it. Infrastructure was supposed to be the great bipartisan achievement of this administration; at the very last, unlike many of the other proposals, infrastructure is an actual problem to be solved. It was the national issue that played most directly into the president*'s alleged expertise as a "builder." Now, though, it seems like your bridges are going to remain perilous for at least a while longer because there's a whole new group of movers and shakers who don't want to be seen with the guy. From The Hill:

The council, which had not yet been assembled, would have provided the White House with advice on how to spend billions of dollars to improve the nation's roads, bridges and railways.

"The president's Advisory Council on Infrastructure, which was still being formed, will not move forward," a White House official said.

Nobody wants to take meetings with him. The mayor of Phoenix would rather he not show up next week. They call the wind Pariah, and we are heading full tilt into the last reel of Citizen Kane.

With nukes.

1. they love his money - but who the hell would want to actually work with him!

2. That's because nobody CAN work with him

There is no give and take, no real discussion of options. He's a raging narcissist who wants adoration and supreme loyalty from everybody around him. That's their function, the jobs that go with the title are unnecessary to him.

4. It's toxic enough to run a company that way....

it's catastrophic to apply his methods, if you can call them that, to government.

3. He's a virus...

The party has been incubating for half a century. The Zombie Apocalypse is upon us. He's still shambling around the white house looking for brains...oh wait.
