That is probably my main criticism of Trump and I really hope he fixes this before he runs again. You can try to shift the blame to all kinds of external factors but at the end of the day Trump has to accept a good chunk of the blame for selecting these treasonous sacks of human garbage (Kushner, Barr, etc I won't bother listing them all).
That being said there is nobody else I would rather win in 2024 but for fuck's sake I hope he has become far more skeptical of those around him and willing to fire people as needed without hesitating.
NOTE:
Before someone accuses me of being a concern troll or shill, no I have been a Trump supporter since before 2016 and I've made lots of pro-Trump memes over the years (and will continue to do so), many of which have gone viral and / or been stickied by mods here and previously on The_Donald on reddit. Here is an example and another one and there are many more I'd be happy to share. I've also helped expose deranged leftists who bragged about murdering Trump supporters which got so much exposure that they were even commented on by people as mainstream as Ann Coulter (sadly despite this and alternative media coverage and tons of police and FBI reports nothing ever came of it). I've done a hell of a lot so don't dismiss my post as "concern trolling by some new shill account paid for by Democrats / antifa", this is a legitimate criticism coming from a long term die-hard supporter.
It is not "the system" at fault. There are kaws, rules and safeguards in place.
The problem is the lack of respect for the law, dishonesty, arrogance, and corruption of the people who were entrusted to work within the system on behalf of those who elected them.
The consolidation of power in corrupt hands accelerated in the 1990s in the push for Globalism by the Clinton administration, and has its roots in the GHW Bush administration.
Those laws, rules and safeguards are moot with no standing, chief. Why are you still defending the system? There's ZERO accountability and ZERO punitive measures for those who make careers out of violating their oath of office and grifting the American people. Want me to make a list of all the miscarriages of justice over the last 3 decades alone?
People have always been the problem. But a system that can't be enforced is a broken system. Period.
If people have always been the problem (we agree there) then it doesn't matter what "system" is in place Kemosabe.
Corrupt people = a corrupt system. No matter what system is in place. Think of a system, any system, which could function as it should to dispense just outcomes if it is rife with corruption? I know of none.
Love to hear your ideas man. The Swamp was exposed but it's about as far from being drained as it's ever gonna be.
I can't claim they are my ideas alone. They are an amalgamation of ideas I have collected from many other minds.
You are right in that the swamp was exposed. Just five years ago I would have scoffed at the term "swamp", but now, I believe "organized criminal activity" would better describe our political systems, especially at the federal level. However, problem solving begins with identifying and defining the problem. Trump's presidency opened the eyes tens of millions who will never think the old way again. That is a huge first step.
Now, the next action we ta k e must be at the local levels. City councils, school boards, district attorneys county officials. We need to place emphasis there because that's where law enforcement begins. Couple with concurrent pushes at state levels and we will make headway.
The shit that went on election night happened only because local officials were corrupt too.
Add a recruitment campaign to find honest people with ability to run as candidates. As much as I despise the Republican party right now, I recall in business it is much easier to "re-brand" an old brand, to revitalize it, than it is to create a totally new one. We must gain control over the Republican party apparatus and elect a chairman who will enforce standards and instill party discipline.
Nothing is impossible if you/we want it bad enough.
