In "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House," Michael Wolff highlights how the principle of "just doing things" became central under Steve Bannon's influence. This approach aimed to combat the inertia and obstruction often found in bureaucratic systems. The chaotic energy of this method led to some tangible results, yet it raised questions about accountability and clarity within the Trump administration. With many individuals lacking clear expertise, it became difficult to determine who was responsible for specific actions.

Wolff illustrates that the overall confusion stemmed from a lack of defined roles and knowledge among staff members. For example, Sean Spicer, who held a significant position as Press Secretary, faced challenges that exemplified this gap in understanding and governance. The ambiguity surrounding competencies and responsibilities ultimately complicated the administration's effectiveness, even as the push for action persisted.
