The chaos in Trump's White House is the result of putting a blatant narcissist in a position of great authority. Narcissists have an overpowering need to lord their power over everyone around them. When Jian Ghomeshi, another narcissist, was running the radio program Q, he routinely set one underling against another just to revel in his power and sow discord for his own amusement. Trump made a fool of Mitt Romney by making him believe he was under consideration for Sec of State, just for fun and revenge. 

This situation isn't going to improve. Trump is a victim of his personality disorder, it's not like he can choose to act differently. His team will always be off-balance and in disarray, because that makes Trump feel more in charge. The only worthwhile question now is how long Republican lawmakers will put up with the farce before they act for the good of the country and remove Trump.
