I see your point, and a few years ago I would have agreed whole heartedly.
Now I disagree with that position as in my working days we got a supervisor that came from a totally different field and knew absolutely nothing about what we did. We all thought he’d fail or just be a jerk.
WRONG! He was a good leader. He knew who was competent at work and inspired them to press on. Our work section’s morale improved and so did production.
But a better case is Trump. He’s not only never been President before, but not even a politician. He’s a total outsider just doing things different that’s MAGA. This Collins guy might just be the ticket, as he’s an outsider.
Like my old boss, or Trump, he just needs to be a good leader.
Totally agree.
Cmdr Edward Ellsberg (navy Salvage) winced when he was called an "expert", as he consistently worked outside the box (especially at the Massawa naval base in WWII**). He said that an expert knew so much about a subject that he could not see solving a problem in any other way. President Trump is showing the "experts" a thing or two.

This reviewer clips best sums up his efforts: "This is the story of how one American naval officer and a small team of salvage men were able create a functional naval base out of essentially chewing gum, baling wire and whatever scraps of sabotaged gear they were able pull out of the wreckage the enemy had left behind. The men, supported by native Eritreans and Italian prisoners of war, battled savage heat and humidity and a bureacracy that seemed to be as much of an enemy as the Nazis themselves. What they accomplished in a few short months was nothing short of miraculous and is one of the great, unsung stories of the war. Commander Edward Ellsberg, by sheer force of will, managed to salvage many wrecks including sunken dry docks, booby trapped freighters and even a giant floating crane. All of which has been given up as unsalvageable by other, well equipped salvage operators."
