His short reign over the press office will be best remembered for his profanity-laced tirade to a New Yorker reporter. In February, Trump insisted that his administration was running like a ”fine-tuned machine.” But after seven months of almost constant upheaval and internal chaos, it’s hard to square that rosy assessment with reality.
