“Why does it seem every person trump hires ends up hating him.”
Not sure that every person ends up hating him. Currently, I think Pompeo appears to have the right chemistry, Dr Ben Carson is another, Pence has his back. Even AG Barr (while I wait for the indictments) is vastly superior to Sessions, who hasn’t badmouthed Trump despite his own incompetence as AG, and getting publicly called out by Trump. His key aid, Steven Miller, grad from elite Duke U, what a great pick. When McMaster moved on, he left on good terms, complimented and thanked Trump. Ex-WH counsel, Don McGahn - very recently said: “He goes through a decision-tree faster than anyone I’ve seen, to get where he thinks the situation is going to go,”...He thinks differently than anyone else I’ve represented.” McGahn was influential in help Trump get the right picks to the Supreme Court.
That aside, there are more than enough examples to counter what I wrote. But those people are showing their own shortcomings more than Trump, and their lack of character. Trump has a style that is a “black swan” in the DC power structure. He doesn’t go out and attack people, but the minute they slander and libel him, tell lies and distortions, he hits back fast and hard. They have never seen this before because that’s not the way its (supposed to be) played... after all its their turf and it’s supposed to be their rules. And it also goes beyond style, ... it goes to substance - he threatens their empires - he has not been bought off, and he is exposing who these people really are, their incestuous political/financial/business relationships. We are living one of the most unique Presidencies in our country’s history.
Excellent analysis, SP. Can’t disagree with anything you wrote, especially “those people are showing their own shortcomings more than Trump.”
Mean, vindictive, petty, back-stabbers always reveal their own character far more than those they attack. They show themselves to be very little people.
