Trump needs to unite all the different factions in the White House, get to the bottom of the media leaks, and get back to his message of “Make America Great Again,” he added.
While no fan Barack Obama’s policies, Welch said the former president ran a tight ship. “They spoke with one voice.”
The botched Comey firing is an example of Trump’s inexperience in running a bureaucracy, the executive chairman of Jack Welch Management Institute said.
Welch said Trump painted himself into a corner on Comey because he praised the former FBI director when he kept Comey over from the Obama administration.
The president should have loved Comey “on the way out” as much as “he loved him on the way in,” Welch said, instead of calling the former FBI director incompetent.
Welch declined to comment directly on reports late Tuesday that Trump allegedly asked former Comey to “let go” of the investigation into former national security adviser Michael Flynn.
