Former Arkansas governor and ardent Donald Trump supporter, Mike Huckabee, blamed excessive turnover in the Trump administration on exhausted aides who can’t keep up with the president’s incredible physical prowess.

During Fox Business’s Monday airing of Mornings With Maria, show host Maria Bartiromo noted the most recent departures from the Trump administration — Chief of Staff John Kelly and Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke, whose resignation was announced by the president just this weekend. She did so while also displaying a chart showing the faces of all 35 people that have either resigned, or been fired, from the administration thus far.

Bartiromo turned the subject to Huckabee, asking him his opinion of the seemingly excessive turnover within the Trump administration.

“I think it may be a little higher than normal but there’s always transitions going on in the White House staff,” Huckabee began. “More so in this case for two reasons. One, this is a tough president to work for, and not because he’s a difficult person individually, but he is very demanding and very few people can keep up with him. He may be 72 years old but he’s got the vigor of somebody who’s about 32 years old.”

“And he absolutely is just without the capacity of exhaustion,” Huckabee continued, nearly blushing. “I’ve been with him on the campaign trail and was shocked at his stamina. That’s part of it.”

Trump frequently used Hillary Clinton’s “stamina” against her, including his claim during a September 2016 presidential debate in which he singled out her supposed lack of stamina as a reason she can’t be president.

Huckabee concluded his explanation, “The other part is that this is a White House under siege, it’s attacked by the Democratic Party, it’s attacked by virtually every political operative in the nation, and it’s especially attacked by members of the press. So it makes doing a job very difficult because of all the distractions. And I think people just grow weary of it.”
