I hope Trump has truly learned these lessons. The government bureaucrats do not support, and will not support him, and they will lie to him about how and why do or do not do what is expected of them.
You need to fire a great many right at the start. And people who fail to act (Barr failed to act, and offered excuses) — those people need to be fired as soon as their lack of performance is revealed. No second chances.
Hiring plumbers from Peoria to run Agencies and Bureaus would be better. Get people who will take action.
Man, that cannot be overemphasized. A lot of us kept hoping against that Trump would get rid of just half the people who stabbed him in the back. What I have come to surmise is that once Trump appointed someone, or was about to appoint, the Deep State sprang into full Jeffrey Epstein mode to compromise them on behalf of the establishment.
So many people turned on Trump it almost defies the laws of the natural universe. There simply must have been a force at work. But yeah, if Trump gets back in absolutely NO mercy, I don’t care what McConnell or anyone else advises. We’ll see if that lesson has been learned.
