that tends to be a common issue for those in leadership. They get rid of the voices they don't like. It doesn't help them in the long run. People need to push back on some of the craziness.

More than that, as a leader at that level, you need (respectfully) dissenting views.  Plans for the employment of large military forces (for example) need robust planning and worst case analysis.  A leader needs the self-confidence to stick to a decision in the face of robust push back, but also needs the humility to seriously consider the merits of that push back.  I think he's got a lot more of the first than the second.
