People can say what you want about Bill Clinton but I still think he approached the Presidency correctly. On day one he cleaned house in the executive office, FBI and DOJ. Got all of his people in charge. All future Presidents need to follow this SOP.
On the day he was elected, Trump did not have a pool his people to draw on. He had to rely on people within the party to help him on personnel matters. Unfortunately, many of them did not turn out to be willing or able to help drain the swamp.
Yup, Trump should of canned every 0 appointee on day one.
obammy did the same thing.
Trump should have cleaned house from the get go. He’s paid an enormously high price for not doing so.
That said, I realize that finding Trump loyalists within the universe of qualified people in the GOP is, and will continue to be, problematic for him.
Bill Clinton didn’t have to worry about disloyalty and subversion within his own party. Replacing people was a fairly easy thing for him to do.

D’s do that regularly. R’s get slaughtered in the press if they do it.
Clinton was not then promptly sued and had court orders by low level federal judges that he stop doing what he was doing either.
That is something that must be taken into consideration.
Finding honest politicians with a gut for battle, that's much more difficult. And, as I'm sure you remember...candidates were being told by the swamp (including neverTrumpers) that if they worked for Trump that 'they would never work in this town again.'
