One of president Donald Trump's nominees has been stressing out his staffers with his peculiar and highly specific requests.

Interior secretary Doug Burgum has placed unusual demands on his employees, four sources familiar with his leadership told The Atlantic, and his chief of staff JoDee Hanson reflected his idiosyncratic preferences by directing political appointees in his office to regularly bake chocolate chip cookies for the boss and his guests using industrial ovens at department headquarters.

"Some of the concerns have been elevated to senior White House officials, according to the sources," the magazine reported. "One person familiar with the behavior described Burgum as 'Doug the diva.' Three people said the concerns have been widely discussed among lower-level staff at the Department of Interior. Two people said political appointees in Burgum’s office have been seen crying because of the demands placed on them."

At least once, a political appointee was told to make the cookies again because their batch was subpar three sources said, and four sources claim office leadership once instructed political appointees to act as servers for a multicourse meal and dispatched a U.S. Park Police helicopter for Burgum's personal transportation – all of which Trump administration officials vehemently denied.

1. If true, then burgum needs to get off his a&& and go buy some choc. chip cookies that I'm sure some bakeries make

themselves, that are just as good as home-made.

Pathetic. These people show their true colors by treating their fellow Americans in this manner. It's like they're all DIC-tators.

7. following the example of his predecessor of Ryan Zinke and other wannabe feudal lords.

In a government with any scrap of ethics, this would be misconduct, if not grounds for removal.
