Bold 1 :

I'm not sure what you're trying to say here to be honest... You're agreeing that interpreting the revolving door comment isn't difficult (yet you failed to do so), and neither is pissing into the wind... Why is it foolish to note that Trump's staff turnover is extremely high in comparison to previous Presidents? Do you have a better comparison?

Bold 2 : 

So then why not just look at recent Presidents? The gulf is still there... So your point is?

And, yes, the climate is terrible at the moment, you don't think a big part of that is due to Trump's own behaviour? Part of being an effective President is knowing how to present yourself and communicate in a way which results in the best perception... Trump deliberately goes out of his way to be divisive, so pretending that he's some innocent bistander is ridiculous!

Let's get specific, in your opinion - what percentage of the high turnover would you say is Trump's fault?

I'm saying if you didn't think about the fact that the wind was blowing, and in what direction, pissing into the wind would get you covered in urine. Who wouldn't take the wind and it's direction into account? Who's mindlessly ok with drenching themselves in piss? Just looking at Trumps turnover rate vs other Presidents doesn't take anything else into account, and to assume Trump is mindlessly hiring and firing people just to pass the time would be foolish.

Based on your apples to apples argument, all people would have to argue climate change is a difference in temperature, that's it. No CO2 levels, no ocean levels, just temperature. Who's going to agree climate change is definitely a problem if you can't use causes to back it up? Who's going to be able to agree why Trump is firing so many people if all we can look at is the turnover rate and that's it?

The same if not a somewhat lesser percentage than previous administrations due to the extra complexity that exists today.

I think it would help everyone if you'd stop muddying the waters with endless half-baked metaphors and just dealt with the facts at hand. Pissing into the wind, climate change, travelling to Mars - you're all over the place...

I do think that there are different factors at play in Trump's case and I think that he's responsible for almost all of them.

Saying dumb, contradictory shit every other sentence, being the most divisive President in living memory, deliberately picking fights with... everyone... I can only imagine what working for that nut-case would be like - don't think I'd last long tbh. You really don't need to be Columbo to deduce why there's a revolving door - you just refuse to see it.

Twitter and the media weren't invented the day Trump came into office you know!
