Trump’s Aides Tried to Conceal His Crazy, Racist Beliefs From the Country

Donald Trump’s aides have been angry with him frequently — indeed, usually — since the beginning of his presidential campaign....They are angry that Trump revealed beliefs they wish to keep hidden. “Members of the president’s staff, stunned and disheartened, said they never expected to hear such a voluble articulation of opinions that the president had long expressed in private,” reports the New York Times....

This raises the question once again of why they are working for Trump at all...Trump is a dangerous and erratic figure, and somebody needs to try to steer him away from decisions that would provoke unalterable tragedy. That justification covers serving Trump as a foreign-policy adviser, or as homeland security and disaster-response officials. But what justification can the domestic and political advisers offer?
