Trump's advisers are increasingly unhappy with his focus on White House renovation projects after Republicans suffered heavy losses in the midterm elections, and some staffers are considering leaving the administration. Current and former officials say morale is low, Trump refuses to accept responsibility for his failure and his focus remains on construction projects costing more than $600 million. One former official warned that Trump's "Making America Great Again" (MAGA) plan may no longer be salvageable, while another said staff are already trying to "leave the organization." Also, Trump's allies fear that he will have difficulty recruiting and retaining troops in the last two years of his presidency, especially in light of the Democrats' control of Congress.
