A Trump campaign adviser said there is widespread frustration with Meadows, Trump's fourth chief of staff, over his comments, as well as his leadership more broadly. The inability to keep a lid on the information reflects Meadows' diminished standing inside the building, according to multiple officials. "He has exhibited no leadership in taking control of issues with the President," a second Trump adviser said of Meadows more recently. Among officials at the White House, Meadows has been one of the most skeptical about efforts to contain the coronavirus. "It's been a s***show," the second Trump adviser told CNN at the time.
