The annual White House report gave us some information that we knew already – the Trump White House has been one of the most turbulent administrations in recent years.
The data focuses on the entire first year of the Trump presidency, and shows that Trump actually had a higher turnover than any of his predecessors. The 34% turnover rate was much higher than any administration before Trump in the past 40 years. As an example, the highest turnover before Trump was the Reagan administration, which came in at a now paltry 17% of senior aid turnover.
One of the most important stats was the number of senior aides. Never before has there been such a public ruckus about officials in the White House getting shuffled. The liberal media had a field day with each and every one of Trump’s firings. Some news stations even risked ratings to report on positions that the American people had never heard of or cared about. However, liberal media has never been one to put money over feeling.
Chief of Staff Reince Priebus and National Security Adviser Michael Flynn might have been “newsworthy,” and Steve Bannon was such a public figure that the media could have been forgiven for over-reporting his departure. However, figures like Sebastian Gorka, Omarosa (whose position was made up in the first place), White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci, Preet Bharara, Dina Powell, Katie Walsh and K. T. McFarland got press they didn’t really deserve. The mainstream media was only there to try to screw up Trump’s flow — no one in the American public knew or cared about them.
What does all of this mean for President Trump in the remaining three years of his current term?
You can bet that there will be more firings in the future – probably made very public by the liberal media, too – but why? Trump has already shown himself to be an unapologetic businessman in the executive office. He personally will not be affected by the media taking his office politics public. He already has plenty of experience dealing with this kind of thing on The Apprentice and as one of the most high profile businesspeople on the face of the planet.
This is great for the country. For far too long, the government has been in the hands of people who were running it like a non-profit organization instead of like what it is, a business. This is the reason for bloated budgets and programs that do nothing taking up all of the expendable funds. Administrative costs go up, because administrators hire more administrators to do nothing in general.
God forbid that Trump actually hire the best people for the job. God forbid that Trump fire the people who prove themselves unworthy of the position they were initially contracted for. Honestly, in what world does the executive branch function in any way other than what Trump is doing? Reagan did the same thing, and that was the last time the government actually ran with any kind of efficiency until the first Bush. Even the second Bush acted more like a liberal, and government expanded with no new real function.
Although liberals are touting the Annual White House Personnel Report as some sort of loss for the Trump administration, it is actually a victory. The report shows that President Trump is actually doing his job – being the president and CEO of the United States. That’s what CEOs do. They fire people. They make moves. It is their responsibility to ensure that the government is running as efficiently as possible.
Contrary to liberal belief, liberals actually get more if the government is efficient. Because they have no business sense, they believe the only way to get more money for their programs is to expand government or water down the currency. No. Liberals, if the government is more efficient, you get more cash for social programs, because the government is actually generating revenue to fund those cash-poor endeavors.
President Trump, keep moving forward. Liberals, get your business together. The sooner that you actually get on the same page as the executive branch, the better you will do financially. Why fight and lose when you can shut up and win?

There is an old saying that I am sure President Trump is well aware of. It says to,
“hold your friends close and your enemies even closer!” Tracery is often just a
moment away when dealing with politics. Respect everyone but be vigilant as to
who you trust! That is wisdom.
The best thing bout Trump is his ability to expose the members of the criminal Government , press, Hollywood elites and social elites ho have been destroying this world for years. Their insatiable lust are being exposed along with their efforts to create the one world government with them as our masters.
President Trump has done a great job, just like Dr. Carson said he would. The media and the liberals have fought him the whole way but this is how it should be done. He is working for the people, not himself. The WH had way too many left overs for the O Administration to get rid of, and that takes time. I can see that things are going to get better because the prices at the grocery have just started to come down a little since the tax bill past, and as a senior we really need it. OH yeah, as far as our SS .raise we ended up with a dollar or 2 because Medicare took most all of it. The reason for that is all of the money O stole out of Medicare for Obamacare. O really came very close to taking this country down, he wanted to be a dictator, so everything would be his. A very good article.
It is interesting that you mention Dr Carson.
There has been little or no mention of him in the media. I’ll bet he is quietly doing his job and one day we will wake up to a better world for his quiet efforts.
President Trump is a true Patriot who only wants good for the American people. He is a Christian on the right path and making all the right choices for America. It’s been a year people, get on the bandwagon or leave. You’re not a tree, you can move.
trump hires the best. If they cannot do the job, he fires them. Being the best is not enough. You have to consistently do better
Trump is pursuing a LONG OVERDUE correction in Federal government CORRUPTION. Of course, the DEEP STATE is going to fight his every move – they have become very comfortable with their powerful roles and will not give up without a major struggle! What they don’t seem to realize, in Trump, they aren’t dealing with the usual mealy mouthed, spineless politician. Trump is fully prepared to give more than he gets. A strong spine and a man accustomed to street fighting – and winning.
Thank God for Trump – he is exactly the right man and a desperately needed time in the history of the Republic!
President Trump is the right man for this job! Things needed to be cleaned up so I’m sure some of the firings are from the O administration. If he hired someone for a particular job and they weren’t working out he would fire them instead of creating another inefficient government worker. He is running the government like we have to run our homes and businesses, efficiently! Also, I have been incredulous on learning what has been going on in our FBI, and Department of Justice. I knew the Department of Justice was corrupt with the Obama administration targeting and having the IRS and other federal agencies go after opposition groups. However, seeing what is on the news I realize we wer
e just scratching the surface. Between the emails on the unsecure server and, more importantly, Uranium One deal, things are really bad, in an evil way. I pray for President Trump and support him always. As Kevin from Kevin’s Corner called him, President Trump may act like a knucklehead sometimes but he is a knucklehead God can work with. May God bless America.
