Trump’s transition team is reportedly mired in infighting at Mar-a-Lago, with factions clashing over control and strategy for his return to the White House.

      It’ll only stall. Eventually, one rule of thought will win out even if it takes months of firings and cycling out of people he already appointed.

        That’s what happened in his first term (and apparently within his business for years). Trump’s management style appears to be: gather sycophants and yes men, orchestrate drama to pit everyone against each other, stay in power due to the instability caused by the infighting. No one considers challenging the king if the court is too chaotic.
