His treatment of the press corps has been more or less abysmal, but he does seem to be one of the less destructive cabinet members.

Could you link to something? Would be interested in reading more, since I haven't seen this in the news.

Oh geez, thanks for the link. I'd cut him some slack. I feel like if I was working under Trump I wouldn't be eagerly jumping in the middle of a crowd of reporters and telling them to throw questions at me in my first 2 months either. "One of the less destructive cabinet members" is quite an exaggeration for someone who's literally only had 2 months and the only bad thing you can think of is that he's run away from a few reporters. I'd be scrambling to get my crap together and figuring out what I'm supposed to do before worrying about answering to reporters about a job I just started. If there's any actual destructiveness on his part that he's refusing to talk about with reporters, that'd be much fairer of an assessment...
