"Why Trump Needs an Enemy" - $tevie - 02-17-2017
Last week, a senior White House official shared a candid theory with me about why President Donald Trump and his team have been adrift since November: they’ve yet to adjust to the post-election reality, and they haven’t yet learned how to operate without a single, common enemy—Hillary Clinton—to focus on. It was a frank admission that a team built for winning a campaign has so far failed at governing.
Incoming Presidents usually trade in some of their political tacticians for experienced Washington hands when they take office, but Trump installed his entire senior campaign leadership into top positions in the White House, a place where few of them have ever worked before. In fact, one of the only senior Trump staffers with previous White House experience is Omarosa Manigault, the reality-star villain from “The Apprentice,” who briefly worked in the Clinton White House when she was twenty-three years old.

Nothing new there, since he has no real "values" and developed no deep policies on the campaign. He had/has no desire to be president. It was all just a big con, a thumb in the eye and a boost for his "brand."

That's an interesting take...
a tangent: Omarosa Manigault, the reality-star villain - I've seen this description before. What is a reality TV 'villain'?
