Isolated in the West Wing

Katy Bar the Door!   Prophesy in idiom.

(From a book of poems called King's Tragedy by D. G. Rossetti published in 1881. It tells of an attempt by one Catherine to save the life of Scotland's James I by throwing her arm across a doorway to bar his enemies.)

Hope Hicks resigns: The Trump administration officials who have left since he took office ~ Departure of communications chief Hope Hicks underscores Trump administration's unusually high rate of turnover.

In the White House, it's becoming increasingly obvious how the failed Donald Trump administration needs the equivalent of a Katy, but for a reason that's opposite from the idiom's meaning. 

What's needed is the proverbial and brave "Katy" to save Donald Trump from the damage he is doing to himself, while he's becoming increasingly isolated in the White House West Wing.

Surely, the Oval Office is getting lonelier as the requiem of the litany of departures is becoming more somber.  Hope Hick's is the fourth communications person to be let go. Trying to keep up with the style of incoming, as one after another leaves, must cause the surviving staffs to be sharing Xanax for their anxiety disorders.

Donald Trump can no longer talk to his son Jared Kushner because the family adviser has lost his top secret security clearance.  

There's only one reason for this downgrade to have happened and that's because of Kushner's business dealings with foreign countries.  

In other words, in Russian, it's what' called "kompromat" or blackmail. 

Here's who shut the door behind them:

Steve Bannon~ An architect of Trump’s presidential campaign, the former Breitbart (aka "barfcart) news head cast himself as the guardian of Mr Trump’s populist platform. While the White House cast Bannon’s August 2017 decision to leave the administration as amicable, the relationship between Trump and Bannon disintegrated upon publication of a book that quoted Bannon disparaging the President’s family. 

Reince Priebus ~ Trump's decision to make this former Republican National Committee chair his chief of staff was seen as building a bridge to a Republican establishment. But, Trump was said to chafe at Priebus, who resigned in July of 2017.

Michael Flynn ~ Trump’s initial National Security Adviser lasted less than a month.  Retired Lt. Gen. Flynn resigned after it emerged he had lied about his conversations with Russia’s ambassador to the US. In fact, Flynn later pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about discussions with then Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak.

Anthony Scaramucci ~ Blink and you might have missed Scaramucci’s brief tenure. He was fired by Chief of Staff John Kelly in July of 2018, days after he launched into a profanity-laced tirade blasting other administration members during a phone call with a reporter.

Sean Spicer ~ The Trump administration’s first Press Secretary resigned in July of 2017, about a week before the ouster of Priebus, after objecting to the appointment of Scaramucci.

Michael Dubke ~ Yet another former member of the Trump White House’s communications team, Dubke resigned from his post as communications director in May of 2017.

"Katy bar the door" to keep Donald Trump isolated from causing his own misbehavior.
