CNN’s John Avlon Ridicules Trump’s ‘63% Senior Staff Turnover’: A ‘Fine-Tuned Machine?’

‘A fine tuned machine, that’s how President Trump often describes his administration’

EXCERPT:

BERMAN: "All right. So if you feel like the revolving door at the White House is spinning a bit more quickly lately, you are right. And, in fact, the rate of turnover in President Trump's White House is not just high, it's historic. CNN senior political analyst John Avlon joins us now with a reality check -- sir.
AVLON: "That's right, John. A fine-tuned machine -- that's how President Trump often describes his administration. But we've seen major turnover at senior levels, always denied at first by the administration. But as of today, Trump turnover stands at 62 percent, according to Brookings. That's more than in the first two years than any modern president and that's just counting the executive office of the president. When you start including cabinet secretaries and others, the list becomes unusual. Attorney general Jeff Sessions, FBI director Jim Comey, national security advisers Michael Flynn and H.R. McMaster, U.N. ambassador Nikki Haley, communications director Scaramucci, and Hope Hicks. Add to that, Steve Bannon, Reince Priebus, Sean Spicer, Tom Price, Rob Porter, Scott Pruitt, Don McGahn, Omarosa. The list goes on and on and on. And the latest in this very long episode of 'As the West Wing Turns' is chief of staff John Kelly. But just a few months ago, President Trump asked Kelly to stay on through 2020. And last month, Trump called all reports of internal discord between them fake news.”
