The "rules" bound those who would observe the honor system. Trump does not know or care about honor or systems, all he cares about is himself. So, like a king, anyone around him is in danger of losing their position if they merely displease him. Working around the President is, for many, a once in a lifetime event, unless you're independently wealthy, you're probably going to need a good resume going forward, so there's a palpable risk in being dismissed. Further, as President, like a king, he wields so much power that he has great influence in places where he hasn't got control thus it's not advisable to get on the bad side of either the king or a president you'd better think carefully and hard before you take a "troublesome" position on any issue(s). Most especially with a loose cannon like Trump who is capable of just about anything.
A collection of articles defining our times. The pages contain clickable links, don't let the titles fool you, some of the best articles have very non-descript titles and there are usually more articles on the matters in the days and week pages the links land on so it's a sort of treasure hunt through history, Enjoy!
