The president removed his top foreign policy adviser as his White House barrels towards an array of national security challenges


Rex Tillerson is just the latest in the long list of aides who jumped or were pushed out of the White House.


A week ago Mr Trump lost his top economic adviser, Gary Cohn, who resigned after his opposition to tariffs was ignored.



Since his inauguration last January, president Trump has also parted company with a national security adviser, four communications directors, a press secretary, a chief political strategist, a health secretary, a chief of staff, a White House staff secretary, an FBI director and an acting attorney-general.



No modern White House has recorded as high a level of staff turnover.
