Trump predicated his entire 2016 campaign on attacking the deep state, the Bush GOP, and Hillary, so he should have been ready to have ZERO allies anywhere, but was not
Why anyone remains indignant about this, like Goodwin, is beyond me.
A presidential campaign in the US is normally a war, between the two parties. Turning it into a multi-front war, however, as Trump did, was pure hubris on his part.
His catastrophic record of appointments simply amplifies the point.
Trump didn't bring with him into government his own army, let alone get the loyalty of the GOP army he had attacked relentlessly for 18 months. NeverTrump didn't materialize out of thin air. Getting anything accomplished in Washington with your side on your side is hard enough. Trump didn't have even that.
Trump narrowly won the battle of 2016, but utterly lost the war, because he was unprepared.
Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand? Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace.

Obama: If Only I Were President of China
To Michael Goodwin for The New York Post, here, this is evidence of how reality keeps intruding on the president, who protests too much that he is not an ideologue:
He is a man of the faculty lounge who wants a blank slate so he can remake the nation into a more perfect place, as he sees it. ...
But damn it, the country and the world won't cooperate.
Or as Socrates put it:
He who is the real tyrant . . . is the real slave . . .. He has desires which he is utterly unable to satisfy, and has more wants than any one, and is truly poor . . . he ... is full of convulsions, and distractions, even as the State which he resembles.
