Los Angeles Times readers and constituents from Southern California voiced intense criticism of President Donald Trump’s administrative performance on February 9, 2026, arguing that his second term has failed the fundamental tests of corporate-style governance and national stability. Following a year marked by fiscal instability and administrative disruption, local writers highlighted a growing sense of public exhaustion over the President's inability to manage the federal government with the efficiency and decorum typically expected of a successful business executive. The outcry was sparked by a recent column by Jackie Calmes, which analyzed the deepening 'misery' and chaos characterizing the first twelve months of Trump’s return to the White House. One resident from Marina del Rey, June Ailin Sewell, explicitly challenged the narrative that Trump serves as a competent 'CEO' of the nation. Sewell argued that if the United States were a corporation, its current financial health, employee morale, and 'customer satisfaction'—the approval of the citizenry—would be grounds for immediate termination. The critique suggests that the President has failed to honor the country’s 'corporate mission statement,' referring to the constitutional and democratic values that define the American global standing. By applying the logic of private enterprise to the presidency, critics argue that the same accountability measures resulting in the firing of failing CEOs should apply to the executive office. From Studio City, resident Linda Cooper echoed these sentiments, describing the current political climate as head-spinning and tragic. The correspondence reflects a nostalgic preference for the stability associated with the previous administration, specifically citing the 'sleepy' but predictable nature of former President Joe Biden’s tenure. The public discourse suggests that the strategy of disruption and chaos, which defined Trump’s first term and the COVID-19 era, has intensified in 2025 and early 2026, leading to widespread civic fatigue. The letters highlight a significant rift between the administration’s stated goals of business-like efficiency and the practical reality of what many perceive as a fractured and mismanaged federal apparatus.
