Yeah I kinda had that thought too... though I had that thought about his campaign but it seemed to go the opposite way with Trump either infecting those around him with his style of thought (Conway seemed to get more and more off the deep end as the campaign went on for example) or getting rid of the ones that didn't (Corey vs. Manafort, though Manafort's Russian/Ukrainian links may have been more important there, but it seemed to be headed that way anyway).

In a related story, seems Trump is having some difficulty finding people to work for his administration among the security community. Some prospects are citing Trump being unfit for the job, but how much of it is just basic resentment given how Trump derided them during the campaign.

I've read that being able to run a campaign is supposed to show a candidate is prepared to run their Presidency, and Trump seemed to have a lot of problems in that area.
