Gorka has supposedly left because of his dissatisfaction with the state of the government. He feels the people in the White House are not doing their job correctly. Gorka's letter states, "the individuals who most embodied and represented the policies that will 'Make America Great Again' have been internally countered, systematically removed, or undermined in recent months".
Gorka was known for being seen on television in order to defend and promote Trump. He would often argue with hosts and reporters. Gorka did not see himself having a bigger role than that and then decided to resign. Other officials argue that Gorka did not resign and was actually forced to leave.
Unsurprisingly, Sebastian Gorka is not one of the first advisers to leave the White House. A few other people that have resigned or have been forced to leave include Steve Bannon (chief strategist and senior counselor), Anthony Scaramucci (White House communications director), and Reince Priebus (White House chief of staff).

Discussion Questions:
1. Do you believe Gorka was resigned or forced to leave the White House? Why?
2. Why do you think so many advisers have left the White House?
3. Does this issue relate to Trump's difficulty to lead as President?
