Trump Goes Rogue -

Trump Goes Rogue -
By firing Mr. Priebus and Mr. Spicer and hiring John Kelly
and Anthony Scaramucci, President Trump has sent a message: After six months of trying to behave like a conventional Republican president, he’s done.
Not only is he politically incorrect, but his manner, habits
and language run against everything Washington professionals — in particular, people like Reince Priebus — have been taught to believe is right and good
Mr. Trump has no patience for consultants and experts, especially the consultants
and experts in the Republican Party who were proven wrong about his election.
His love of confrontation, his need always to define himself in relation to an enemy, then to brand and mock and belittle and undermine his opponent until nothing
but Trump catchphrases remain, is the inverse of how Washingtonians believe politics should operate.
For Trump, the Senate’s failure to repeal Obamacare was more evidence of Washington dysfunction,
and a reason to declare independence from Priebus, the Republicans and political norms.
Mr. Trump’s bombast, outsize personality, lack of restraint, flippancy and vulgarity could not be more out of place in Washington.
