Donald Trump’s critics have a new line of attack (do these people ever take a day off?). Their latest complaint is that he’s burning through his top staffers too quickly.

This is actually an old-school criticism—they said the same thing during his first term, accusing him of creating “personnel chaos” and running a “Game of Thrones” cabinet.

It’s true the Trump team has seen some turnover in recent weeks. Attorney General Pam Bondi was let go while Kristi Noem was ousted from the Department of Homeland Security. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt is also rumored to be on her way out.

But let’s not pretend this is “Trump’s purge,” as an Atlantic article declares. Trump’s core cabinet is ironclad, a team of stalwarts that shows no signs of wilting under pressure.

Some of the turnover rumors are to be expected. Leavitt is due to have a baby next month and is in a job known for its high burnout rate. White House press secretaries tend to last a year and a half to two years. If Leavitt does decide to depart, the duration of her tenure will have been completely normal.

A better indicator is the White House chief of staff, arguably an even more grueling position than the press........
