Ben Sasse, a Republican Senator from Nebraska called out Donald Trump and his White House for all its drama in a Sunday morning interview.
“I don’t have any desire to beat this president up, but it’s pretty clear that this White House is a reality-show, soap-opera presidency,” Sasse told NBC’s “Meet the Press,” running through a list of the more incendiary reports that have put the White House on the defensive in recent months, including several anonymous accounts detailing dissent and subversion in the administration.
“What you’d like is the president to not worry so much about the short-term of staffing but the long-term of vision-casting for America, pull us together as a people, help us deliberate about where we should go and then build a team of great, big-cause, low-ego people around you,” he said. “Right now it feels like there’s just way too much drama every day and that distracts us from the longer-term stuff we should be focused on together.”
