I'll say it again. We need to be honest. Trump was a great President, helped make America great again, stopped Hillary, and lots of other magnificent things.
But seriously, Trump's Achilles is his personnel instincts. They're a virtual dumpster fire. Sessions, the Mooch, Bolton, Tillersn, Mattis, Giuliani, McCabe, Nikki Haley, Sally Yates, Flynn, Hope Hicks, Reince Priebus, Rod Rosenstein. Oh, and Pence...and endorsing McCarthy. And PA and Alabama primary nonsense.
And this is not an inconsequential Achilles. Indeed, picking Rudy to lead the stolen election charge was a disaster. He may have been America's Mayor but he was out of his league when arguing cases. In fact he was by many accounts hung over and that's why his hair dye was trickling down his face. Maybe that deck was stacked against him, but our "ace" pitcher had no heat and the skipper kept him on the mound out of loyalty.
Ignoring a problem won't make it go away, and this is a big problem. Re-electing Trump is tough enough, but I don't want to spend four years crossing my fingers on him selecting competent pit bulls to administer MAGA.
There isn't a single person on that list who would NOT have been included in an administration run by Jeb Bush or Ron DeSantis. In fact, Bolton almost certainly would be a cabinet appointee and not a senior advisor who doesn't require Senate confirmation.
I think yours is an excellent summary. Every word a winner. I love Trump and don’t think it’s much of an exaggeration to say he saved the country. But the trail of idiots and RINOS and traitors he put in his administration which you itemize in your post is heartbreaking. So much more could’ve been accomplished were it not for this list of terrible appointments. Truly a downside of an incredible man who loves his country.
also to add to the list was that awful woman that appeared on his TV show he appointed to something in the White House. Omarosa or something like that. Terrible decision.
