'Pure madness': Donald Trump's White House weathers darkest days yetInside the White House, aides over the past week have described an air of anxiety and volatility – with an uncontrollable commander-in-chief at its centre. White House counsel Donald McGahn and national economic council director Gary Cohn have been especially frustrated, according to other advisers. "Morale is the worst it's ever been," said a Republican strategist in frequent contact with White House staff.
