It is likely, given the acrimonious relationship between President Trump and his cabinet, that the next President will try and course correct by having a very collegial relationship wherein they regularly accept counsel from cabinet members and keep them around for a longer period of time. This will be a way to differentiate between a new President and President Trump.

To the question of the past being an indicator, I believe that it can be. Relations between a President and their cabinet go through cycles. So, this too shall pass.
