So, with a new News Cycle, Trump selects a new Chief of Staff. He's touring the White House his first day. He sees a lot of aides and staff members running around the place, calling on phones, shredding documents, arranging meetings.
The Chief has a military background, with a certain fondness for preparation. He collars one of the staffers and starts asking questions.
'Son,' he asked, 'what would you do if someone fell to the floor, having a heart attack?'
'Administration or staff, sir?' was the instant reply.
'Um, okay, let's say, uh, staff. Yeah, someone from your office. One of your buds falls over, grabbing his chest, what would you do?'
The staffer ticks off his steps. 'Call for help for a medical emergency. Call for an aspirin. Loosen his tie and shirt. Make sure his airway is clear. CPR if necessary."
'Okay, yes, good answer. But I have to ask, what would you do if a member of administration fell over?'
The staffer leaned close, looked left and right, and asked, 'Which one?'
