Three: An Insider’s Look at a West Wing Dumpster
It's not the battles we lose that bother me. It’s the ones we don’t suit up for.
- Toby Ziegler, The West Wing12
To lay the predicate for our discussion of the Five Strategic Failures that would lead to the Fall of the White House of Trump, how about you and I take a little Aaron Sorkin “life imitates art” tour of where much of the action will occur. In the spirit of that old sports stadium maxim, “You can’t tell the players without a program,” I will also offer you a brief look at some of the Trump Administration’s key players as they take up residence in their West Wing haunts – or foxholes, as it will turn out to be.
Truth be told, the West Wing, glamorous though it may have seemed on the Martin Sheen TV series, is pretty much a dump. President Trump may or may not have once described it as such during a golf game; but there are humorously conflicting accounts of that particular alleged Trump double bogey in the press.13
The notable exceptions to the dumpster critique are the magnificent Oval Office, the history- drenched and regal Roosevelt Room, and the only slightly less splendid Cabinet Room in which the President’s chair is slightly taller than all others. There is also the Chief of Staff’s office if for no other reason than its comfortable size, high ceilings, and back door patio and pool.
