“Trump has continually made a series of head scratching, flat-out, BAD hires.”
Trump is coming from the business world, where he gained success from making his own decisions, as opposed to allowing others to think for him. This being the case, when he needs a position filled, he is going to grab a tool from what is in his range of view. If it doesn’t work, he can replace it.
For good or ill, this is the man we have in the White House. Remember, we didn’t want a political insider in there when we voted for him.
You raise a good point.
