Hope Hicks is yet another senior person to leave the federal government—willingly or not—under President Donald Trump’s watch. Alarming. (March 1, 10A, “Hicks resigning as White House communications director”)
I can’t help but wonder what they know that we don’t. It gives the impression of rats jumping from a sinking ship.
Is it the persistent Russian cloud hanging over Trump’s head? Is it the unworkable, chaotic conditions of his administration? Or are they concerned about their careers once they leave the White House with the scarlet letter “T” branded on them?
Regardless, they are dropping like flies, and another one bites the dust.
