like Trump? Not family members, but those who choose to be pulled into his toxic orbit. I've had the misfortune of working with a couple over the course of my career and they're impossible to deal with. I dated one or two but got out once I figured out what was going on (these people are highly manipulative and a challenge to those of us who don't operate that way). In most cases, ETTD, but in some cases, there are survivors. Sarah Huckleberry seemed to get out relatively unscathed. Hope Hicks. Fellow sociopath Stephen Miller is hanging in. Kellyanne. What's their secret? I guess they just stand there and allow the abuse to be heaped upon themselves while remaining loyal. Loyalty is key.
