Trump's greatest failing is that he didn't have a clean up crew ready to go on day 1.

As we have now know, Trump never really had much of any infrastructure in place to effectively govern.

I don’t think anyone could have fully grasped the extent the DS cancer had metastasized.

“As we have now know, Trump never really had much of any infrastructure in place to effectively govern.”

And unfortunately, for whatever reason ( and there are likely several) he was the $hits at picking his Cabinet. Nevertheless, he’s the most effective President this country has probably ever had.

Few would have joined his team much before the election. It would have looked too much like career killing moves.

Usually when a President's elected he has crooks in DC ready to do his bidding.

Trump didn't have that - he had ‘never-Trumpers’ with knives in their hands ready to stab him in the back, corrupt Hillary fans who didn't want to hang for their corruption, and a ‘deep state’ that thought they were the ‘true rulers’... thugs attempting a coup.

The least of his horrors were the pretentious fools who kept talking about putting ‘an adult in the room’ to oversee a duly elected President. And those people often attacked his children...

Considering the snake pit Trump inherited it's a wonder he's survived - a lesser man would not have... An even greater wonder that he's been able to accomplish as much as he has...

You are correct and that is the one thing about him which stuns me. He was a chief executive in Corporate America so he should KNOW better. Playbook says the FIRST thing a new CEO does is fire his predecessor's secretary because a) she knows too much, and b) her loyalty is to her former boss. Trump surely knew the drill. Why he didn't execute is a puzzler.

Well, I’d like to see any other pols performance over the BS “resist” movement in both party’s. Never has a president been so scrutinized.

So true but the question is why?

IF he is such a deal maker he should have realized that leaving the "deep state" or Obama hold overs in their positions would be a disaster.

Just think what he could have accomplished in his first 3 years if he would have cleaned house.

[Roccus]

Yeah!

If only he had listened to the Republican party leadership.

Oh....wait....

I expected him to fire 100% of Federal Attorneys on day one, as Bill Clinton did in 1993.
