I think so.
Contrary to what a lot of other people believe, Trump's weakness as a president isn't sourced in bad policy or his nature as a bully. His weakness as a president is that he believes he is greater than he is.
When you act like you are the smartest person in the room you stop taking in new information. You don't listen to the expertise of others. You think you have this and you know what needs to be done.
Trump is unable to put himself in the position of a servant. And that is what good people managers are. And a president is ultimately a manager. They support and enable the experts who do the actual work. His ego demands he be the boss. He surrounds himself with people who will support him instead. He surrounds himself with people who will not challenge him and who will not push back against bad ideas.
