This sounds like a positive development, the incompetence will slow him down. The fuckwits will be stumbling over one another. Short of mass suicide, I’m not sure what better a result we could hope for.
To be honest I assumed most Whitehouse staff are political appointees. If that's the case he's looking to fire all the incompetent people he brought on himself. But some may be apolitical.
The article says “starting with mid-level staff” and they clearly don’t know how to do things. If they mean White House literally, low-level staff are probably the only people who do know how to do things right now. I doubt the kitchen workers, cleaning staff, tour guides, etc. are even people to Trump. Even the chef/kitchen staff just probably has to handle state dinners and other events but most days, just make a McDonald’s run or burn a steak.
At this point I'm surprised someone hasn't made a website with a checklist comparing his actions to a different dicators throughout history and how many have done the same things.
That's a pretty nice website. Although I was more thinking of a very simple one that is literally just a table. With his actions in the first column, and a second column listing which dictators have done a very similar thing and when.
Having it directly show which dictators have done the same things and how many of his statements and orders match their rise to power, is a simple graphic to let people relate to the dangers directly from what they know.
