The difference is some of those people had to be approved by the swamp, so he ended up with slightly-less-filthy swamp creatures in those positions. However Kayleigh didn’t have to be approved, which is why she was amazing.
You can’t totally blame the President for picking a pile of dog shit, when he only has piles of dog shit to pick from.
He's not familiar with politics and is relying on other people's recommendations for appointments. It turns out the people providing the recommendations are snakes.
We all already know this, so why keep posting it over and over again with slightly different titles each time?
does anybody else not notice that suddenly starting this morning there's been a torrent of these exact posts all day long, along with agreeing comments to go with them?
of course the information is mostly true, but I just find it really curious that it all hits on the exact same day and has been going on all day long
also, a lot of people still don't seem to understand how our government works and that any pick Trump made for major positions would have to be confirmed by the most corrupt Senate in our country's history..... so it definitely wasn't a case of him being able to hire whoever he wanted to....
what can i say, i just felt like posting these posts today, sue me. Im a big fan of Trump, but it just bugs the hell out of me how and why he picks so many shit people. I just wanted to vent that.
Don't vent about Trump. The guy was up against so much and the swamp was far more vast and deep than any of us could have imagined. Cliques form and become remarkably powerful at limiting information and access to the president and this kind of behavior has been going on for thousands of years, where a group would team up to control the person in power would see and manipulating it so they would survive. People in groups and cliques can be extremely powerful and the guy never had a break or time away from them to see exactly who was bad, only for him to get Judas'd by Pence.
But wouldn't you agree Trump picking wrong / bad people has real-world consequences?
Take for example his pick of Wray as FBII Director (also if he had fired Comey on day one, it would have been impossible for them to impeach him as would be just cleaning house as the new President, instead he fires him a year later, which made it possible for people to accuse him for firing him for political reasons) has real-world consequences.
By Wray not seeing Antifa as a terrorist organisation, it makes those awful people more brazen and attack people, knowing that even the head of the FBI wont do anything to stop them.
Also, his picks for the Supreme Court can have real consequences if they side with the left amd agree to take people's guns, etc.
Wray was a horrible pick only with the benefit of hindsight. We saw how bipartisan they approved him and that was the first time I had any concern about him getting on. From what I saw of him and his work with Enron I thought, "hey maybe we should give this guy a shot", but I never expected him to be this bad. Hell we had folks talking about how great Chad Wolf was only for him to become a cuck.
I don't remember too many folks being opposed to Kavanaugh and Gorsuch, but the last one I wished they didn't as their was a wonderful judge from South Florida I was hoping for and another two other promising ones.
The GoP strong-armed and conned him into some loch ness monsters.
He is a trusting and loyal person, believing that if you are good to people they will be good to you.
The swamp is more filthy than we can even concieve.
I think he's probably too nice to a fault. Although, he doesn't seem like someone who can be bullied into something. I reckon his refusal to bomb Iran ticked off a lot of people.
I can somewhat excuse it. He wanted people with experience who could do the job. Unfortunately government is so corrupt that everyone already in the system is a Communist. Wray, Barr, and Sessions were just utter trash though. Wray was worse than a bad pick, he was an active enemy and participant in the coup.
If he did make a mistake, it was thinking that there had to be any good in The Swamp, the One Party System in DC.
It was also Swamp stuff that picked many of the people. Obviously Trump could not go through a million files of possible hires. The Mitch/Paul Ryan cartel also pushed their people.
Also, many who he thought were on his side as he was getting elected quickly left, possibly under threats from The Swamp.
Then it was worse as those who said the right things and seemed to be good, they were either lying or someone got to them and turned them to work against Trump.
I watched all 14 seasons of The Apprentice last summer and from it I learned that Trump's number one flaw is poor judgement of character.
So many times he eliminated ("fired") the best and most brilliant early and kept on horrible back-stabbing individuals over and over (Pierce Morgan, as just one of many examples) and even invited them back (Omarosa stands out, who was invited back numerous times and even given a position in his new admin, when she might as well have vertical pupils and slithering forked tongue like the revolting snake she so obviously is.)
Virtually every previous Pres spent their entire career preparing to be Pres and working towards it. They come in w/ an admin in tow. They fire everyone.
Trump spent his career, building, achieving, meeting a payroll, developing, etc.
Should he run again and win, you'll see a well oiled machine w/ an admin ready to go.
I think he was dealing with other constraints that we don't know of and/or don't fully comprehend. I.e. he was to some extent playing a game, the rules of which can be bent but not completely ignored because then the game-masters have protective options that open up.
Like if he had completely made an end run around the establishment and exclusively appointed his own people, the establishment would have aligned against him more completely and more aggressively than they did and convicted him after impeachment.
I don't think anyone could have necessarily done any better than he did given the totality of the situation. Certainly no one in my lifetime has done any better than he did at pulling back the curtain and revealing the swamp.

It's no accident that his Senate confirmed picks were his worse.
Thanks Mitch McConnell.

Trump isn't familiar with politics? I highly doubt that.
Yes, he surrounded himself with some real losers. And today he issued an endorsement for Senator Scott, who is about as genuine and MAGA as Graham.
Scott did surprise me with some good things at times, much more than I expected from him, but Rubio on the other hand.

The dirty democrats getting out in front of our great presidents announcements at the SOTU
Looking through OP's history, you got a point there that he's spamming the topic recently, so I'm a bit suspicious of his motives.

Ric Grenell was also a good pick.
You forgot Mike Pence and Bill Barr. I agree with the rest of your list too.
I respectfully disagree, i think they are both turncoats. You dont think Pence would turn on Trump in a heartbeat if his popularity sunk?
As for Barr, did he even do anything the time he was there? Did he go after Antifa, no.
No, I’m saying Pence and Barr are shitbirds.
It’s slim pickin’s in a swamp. Most of the swamp creatures are just waiting to bite you in the ass and some are poisonous.

Yeah Trump's main failure is he seems to be too trusting. His whole term was handicapped by the shitty people he put in important roles.
Maybe we don't have the whole story. There was probably a lot of pressure on him to make certain picks.
He really didn't seem to have this figured out until like 2019 though.

Reserve criticism for Bumbling Pedo Joe and the dumb fucks he picked.

Israel cannot wait!
He's surrounded by awful people, and continues to pick from that awful pool of people.
I really don't know what to tell you, he continues to disappoint in that regard.
