    As one former senior administration official puts it: “You try working for him and not chasing pills with alcohol.”

    Have you tried having integrity and not working for him though?

      The federal government still needs to function, or a lot of people will suffer. Many people felt it was their duty to continue to do their best for the American people, even though they didn’t agree with the senior leader.

        “Senior administration officials” are not the people making the federal government function. They’re figureheads who assign priorities to the senior bureaucrats and show up at press conferences. The “senior administration officials” are completely replaceable and have no effect on the government’s ability to function.
