He considers these people as "workers" and disposable/replaceable and he moves on. There are stories going back to the '90s and his casino days where he couldn't keep high level staff because they were frustrated by his abhorrent and explosive behavior.
An Empire at Risk - Trump's Atlantic City; Debt Forcing Trump to Play for Higher Stakes
By DIANA B. HENRIQUES with M. A. FARBER
Published: June 7, 1990

Mr. Trump is relying on his three casinos, including the recently opened Taj Mahal, billed as the world's largest, for the cash to keep his sprawling empire going. But restoring the strength of his once-lucrative gaming houses in a difficult market will require management skills that Mr. Trump has yet to demonstrate.
A Risk-Filled Business
In the seven months since a freak helicopter accident robbed him of his top casino executives, Mr. Trump has for the first time become directly involved in running these complex operations with thousands of employees, where management risk is as ever-present as chance at the gaming tables.
Since then, his casinos have been undermined by an exodus of senior managers, some of whom were dismissed and others who left complaining of Mr. Trump's overbearing and idiosyncratic style. Surviving staff members complain of low morale. Bills are not being paid on time, vendors say. And state regulators, growing more concerned, have stepped up a broad inquiry into all his holdings.

eccentric is the polite term for a 'boss' like him. I worked for one, one of my first jobs ever.

SOS isn't the job for him, travel isn't 'fun' anymore. He NEVER will fill Kerry or Clintons shoes.
