IN FAIRNESS, HE'S UNLIKABLE:

"No one in the White House likes or respects Trump."

Those are the words of a source with very close ties to a number of officials in the White House explaining the views of key personnel advising the president.

It's also the most helpful explanation of the dysfunction currently facing President Trump. [...]

Take Kellyanne Conway, Trump's final campaign manager. The co-host of Morning Joe said yesterday that, after defending her boss on live TV, Conway told Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough and company, "Blech. I need to take a shower." Conway, the hosts said, explained she was only doing the job for the money. She is now White House counselor--and works in an office once occupied by Valerie Jarrett.
