4. Because I could only pick one turnover option - staff

Staff does way more than cabinet members.

They had absolutely no continuity. He had 4 Chiefs of Staff for crying out loud.

Press conferences- did he actually go somewhere every day he came out under the running Marine 1 to yell at the press? It was a real GET OFF MY LAWN vibe. I think that was staff trying to let him vent at someone other than them.

That will be a statement on his funeral from any president in office at that time. I'm waiting to hear it from President Harris. Day one will be nice.
