Sebastian gives his thoughts on former Chief of Staff John Kelly

I'd be more interested in thoughts on how Trump can and should make better hiring decisions in his second term. What's done is done - the only value in discussing people like Kelly, Pence, Scaramucci, Sessions, on and on, lies in not making the same kind of mistakes again.

>> I’d be more interested in thoughts on how Trump can and should make better hiring decisions in his second term.

I’m watching Real President Trump running an excellent campaign under VERY challenging conditions, and — remembering that this is the rough-hewn “construction worker from Queens” who mastered the difficult and complex task of high-dollar New York City real estate, TV show production, etc. and won not one but two presidential elections already.

And I’m thinking that, just maybe, I don’t really have any advice to offer a man of President Trump’s stature from my vantage point behind my computer keyboard and monitor.

So I think I’ll just continue to pray for the President, and believe and speak GOD’s continued Providence on President Trump’s and America’s futures — the two of which are closely intertwined.

But that’s just little old me. You do whatever seems good to you.

Frankly, Trump didn't have much to choose from. Pence, Kelly, and many others looked like patriots from the outside.

The problem Trump has is that most of the available candidates for key positions are loyal to the Deep State, not the Constitution.

As an aside, Scaramucci is like many of the lower level hires Trump took a chance on. When they failed to cut the mustard and were removed from office, they became bitter and sold out to the Democrats.

No good deed goes unpunished (Trump should know that by now).

I think during his first term Trump was an outsider who didn’t really understand how Washington works. He thought he could trust the recommendations of established Republicans and that they were on his side. He had to find out the hard way just how deep the deep state goes. McConnell is exhibit A. I don’t see him making that mistake again.

Mitch McConnel will no longer be twisting his arm, that’s a big help right there. Plus now he knows who a lot of the deepstaters are and some who are not.

Game of Thrones is not an easy game to play. People change sides at the drop of a Mcfry.
