^^ Point taken and you have a lot of company.
Trump tried to be inclusive in his initial staff and cabinet picks IMO. Right after the historic departure from statesmanship which was the Democrat boycott of his inauguration, Democrats set about denying confirmation to every one of his picks. But Trump went across the aisle and picked up Gary Cohn to serve as his chief economic advisor, and he followed MR Cohn's advice. Pressure from Cohn's cronies eventually caused him to resign his post. Trump tried to play it straight in allowing Jim Comey to continue on as Director of the FBI. Trump rewarded Jeff Sessions for his contributions to the campaign by making him the Attorney General. Then Sessions did his best impression of a matador in dispatching his duties as AG.
You know the back stories to all those cases, I don't believe their actions were tolerable. And I'll give you another one. I would have fired NSA Dan Coats for the comments he made following the Putin Summit in Helsinki. Where does anybody in the President's employ get off with criticizing his actions publicly? And did Trump's chief of staff refer to him as a blanking idiot as reported? Likewise for Jim Acosta, he should have been banned from the White House a year ago. Team player Paul Ryan's lack of support has been a disgrace, and Majority Leader McConnell isn't all that far behind.
Working with people is not the same thing as becoming their stooge. Christopher Wray and Rod Rosenstein have stonewalled Republican committees since the election of 2016. Judges who've known full well the US Constitution visits the President with the unrestricted power to control immigration, have nonetheless defied him and filed injunctions against his lawfully issued immigration orders. It took the SC to straighten all that out. The above are just a few examples of the hundreds that exist. I know for a fact that we've never seen anything like this before.
