Matt Bai: “The sad thing about Porter’s sudden implosion, aside from what it says about the culture of the place, is that he was probably one of Trump’s few truly qualified hires… Trump had a moment when he probably could have persuaded anyone he wanted to come serve at his side in Washington… There was a sense after Trump won in 2016 that he was unprepared for the job….that the patriotic thing was to help him succeed.”
“Now no one with a reputation still to lose wants to have anything to do with this calamity… Trump isn’t a guy who asks for help. He’s not inspired by talent and intellect; he’s threatened by it.”
