The image of the Trump White House created by articles in the NYT, the WaPo, and Politico is reminiscent of a medieval monarchy in which the king is incapacitated, the government consequently lacks any sense of direction, and the courtiers are all desperately looking out for themselves and trying to knife their rivals.
That’s bad enough, but it could get much worse. Trump is bound to figure out at some point that a successful war is the solution to his public relations problems. It’s just a matter of time.
