I love Trump, but who in God’s name advised him on some of his administration picks?
I think he’s learned (at least I hope) that he can’t trust members of the swamp!
Baffling that Trump would say this. It does him no good.
I think Trump missed some opportunities, but mostly he was limited in who could be confirmed, and who his advisors told him to pick. It is next to impossible to accomplish a lot when most of DC is working against you, or sitting by watching without helping.
I hear this frequently. We weem to forget how impressed most of us were with Barr ... especially early on. Something spooked him.
And when I hear the frustration with the personnel picks, I ask who, who else was there? The DOJ/FBI/NSA made it quite clear you'd be selling your home to pay legal fees if you joined and served the Trump administration.
The good news is, the administrative state won't be able to pull this off twice --- especially if we own a MAGA House of Representatives at the start of Trump's next term.
