Perspective: 'Hey, John Bolton, welcome to life under the bus,' writes Anthony Scaramucci for The Post. The former White House Communications Director gives John Bolton advice on how to survive Trump’s tweets.
The obvious truth is that Trump can’t simultaneously be the great leader and manager he says he is and then consistently flay every employee who manifests an independent opinion about something.

Or maybe it’s a hybrid: He has fired or forced the resignation of the best, and the ones who remain have become intimidated sycophants.
The way to create more power is by giving it away and empowering staff to achieve your goals. But Trump is incapable of this. He has hobbled the executive branch and made it extremely difficult for the Cabinet departments and agencies to coordinate. He has left most of these agencies understaffed, and the heads of the agencies are afraid to do things because of the president’s fickleness.
It’s especially difficult when the officials in charge come up against extra-governmental policy efforts, like the one Trump had Rudy Giuliani running in Ukraine – the one that resulted in the recall of the ambassador to Ukraine, over Bolton’s objection. Trump relies on instinct and eschews any sort of process.
