Trump could only pick from what was available.
Basically the word came down from the GOPe higher ups that if you weren't on their list, they would never confirm anyone who wasn't "Deep State" approved. That, and others were intimidated into not wanting to help the Administration. The GOPe sabotaged Trump all the way.
DeSantis has the advantage of being a Governor, and thus can immunize himself from all that.
Trump took the arrows, so that eventually a guy like DeSantis could be President.
Well said!
Very well said!
I’m not so sure, Trump’s recommended a lot of pretty questionable people, just in general. What worked ok in business clearly didn’t work in politics. I’m sure some of what you said happened quite a bit to those he actually assigned to jobs while President.
