Here's my favorite part of the article linked below....he makes a good process-related point:
"Then there's an increasing obsession with leaks — Trump tweeted about it this morning. That's a classic White House mistake. Things go wrong, and it triggers people (in the permanent bureaucracy, or from one or another faction within the administration) to talk to the press. A good president will use these leaks as sources of information — who is upset, and why? A poor president will circle the wagons, trying to keep knowledge of what's happening within the administration within a tighter and tighter circle, which only serves to make those who legitimately are supposed to be part of the policy-making process even more upset, and the policy made without proper inputs even less likely to succeed. Guess which one Trump is choosing? Hey, at least on this he's making a normal presidenting mistake, albeit one which helped cost Richard Nixon his presidency."
