Isolation

It is a tough PR and leadership position to be in when one is isolated from his constituencies. It is especially difficult when the isolation is self-induced. This is the position President Trump has thrust himself  with the disbanding of two business councils advising him. Trump has progressively cut himself off from one citizen demographic after another. All that remains for him is his base — small as it is. The fewer defenders he has the greater the danger to him and his position. No one has found anything illegal in his operations — at least not yet — but there is a grand jury probing the Russia meddling and his staff’s complicity in in it. At this point, one can almost sense the Republican party begging for a good reason to impeach him and move on. One needs supporters to accomplish anything in the corporate and political world. Trump has yet to learn that as president.
