It's so easy to be an armchair psychologist, but remember that your sources of unbiased information about Donald Trump as a person are very, very limited. I have no idea what his personality, work habits etc are like, and neither do any of you. Remember how George Bush was always in Texas cutting switchgrass? Being President would burn out most of us, and decompressing is something I'm glad they're able to do.
The one reliable fact that can be distilled from news reports is the very high rate of people quitting the administration. I don't know how much of this is due to the increasing pressure cooker that Washington has become in general, or the effects of having to fight most of Washington and various ongoing investigations constantly, Trump's rages and interpersonal issues, or someone else's rages and interpersonal issues. To the extent that it's Trump, that is most definitely a concern for his re-election - which is compounded if he's making unilateral off the cuff decisions with essentially no input from his staff.
I tend to think that the other possibilities contribute significantly though. The fact is that Washington insiders are mad as hell that he was elected in the first place, and they started pummeling him in rage/revenge starting practically on day 1. It was very striking to me how the voters were expected to do as they were told, and it just felt so good to see things turn out differently. This is probably wrong of me, but whenever the mainstream media gives an opinion on X, I instantly assume that what's actually best is Not X.
Oh, and for an example of the above, check out what our darling mayor & council (NYC) has managed to pull off for today:

There are some French Michelin star restaurants in the this city that probably will have something to say about this. Go Daniel Boulud.
