At some point, those who support Trump must admit that he was often a horrible judge of character when it came to appointments, advisors, and the bureaucrat class.

This guy is exhibit 1 for the bureaucrats.

Trump’s worst fault was trusting those around him.

He was the infectious disease guy since Reagan.

Unfortunately, Trump didn’t have much choice. Can’t hire people who didn’t want to put themselves and their families through the wringer, and give up their successful careers.

Also Mitch pretty much told Trump, that anyone that Mitch didn’t approve would be DOA in the Senate, so Trump’s hands were tied.

When you appoint someone, you don’t know them intimately well.

This guy appeared to have the credentials.

He turned into a glory hound, and the media exploited him.

It happens.

Your implication is that Trump should have known better than to appoint him.

How would he be able to predict this outcome?

As we say in the military, you got to fight with the army you have, not the one you want.

Trump’s allies were few and far between, and there were many who double-crossed him in the end (Jeff Sessions).

When both parties have been running the Swamp for untold decades, it’s hard to find those who have an interest in stopping it.

Imagine Trump as a honest cop appointed as a police chief to clean up a dirty police department where everyone is dirty. The only people he could hire were just as dirty or looked the other way, so they are dirty too. All the dirty cops and everyone who looked the other way just ganged up on him.

Let's not forget we voted in all these people, from local to federal, into office. We have a lot of the blame too. We elected these corrupt SOBs. Now we are finding out how corrupt they are.

Fauci was never a Trump appointment. He was a failed scientist who was given an administrative position in the 80s and he has done and said whatever he needs to keep his job! He is a textbook bureaucrat!

Yep. “This guy is exhibit 1 for the bureaucrats.”

“At some point, those who support Trump must admit that he was often a horrible judge of character when it came to appointments, advisors, and the bureaucrat class.

Although, this democrat was prepositioned. Not sure that Trump had much choice here.

Just as the democrats had prepositioned Comey and the FIBber horde. When he fired Comey, they released the ‘Mueller investigation’ upon him.

Wonder what would have happened if he had released this lout?

There is a lot of competition for number 2.
- - Anthony Scaramucci comes to mind.
