Donald Trump’s White House is facing fresh pressure as more staffers reportedly consider leaving. With several aides already gone and Karoline Leavitt’s exit approaching, questions are growing about what the staff shake-up could mean for the administration.
James Braid, the White House director of legislative affairs and a longtime Trump aide, also announced earlier this month that he would leave in the next few weeks. She added, “He is lashing out a lot, which tends to happen when things are not going well. Nearly a dozen staffers have left the White House in recent weeks. They include Deputy Press Secretary Abigail Jackson, Deputy National Security Adviser Andy Baker, Special Assistant to the President Lea Bardon, Director of Cabinet Affairs Emily Underwood, an adviser to Stephen Miller, and Director of Media Affairs Sonny Joy Nelson. She added, “The real question is, who’s going to fill these roles? Will they be the right people, and will they be people that the president listens to? It’s not so much about the vacancies, but who’s willing to go into the second two years of an administration that largely will face headwinds with a change in Congress.”
Haberman also said, “Most people have decided that they want to go do something else. New York Times correspondent Maggie Haberman, who co-authored a recent book on Trump, told MS Now on Thursday, “He is not in a great place with his staff, according to everyone we talked to.
White House spokesman Davis Ingle responded to the comments in a statement to The Independent, saying, “Maggie Haberman of the Failing New York Times constantly speaks like she’s a Trump psychologist when in reality she just has a creepy obsession with the President and clings onto him for relevance. It’s been very sad to watch for years.
Trump’s inner circle could get even smaller as the White House prepares for more staffers to leave, according to Bloomberg News .
