well........yeah. true. he was surrounded by many a loser. I feel for him in the sense that he was dependent on advice from others as to who to pick (even judges which many suct) and so many of them were the worst of the worst. I think McConnell, Pence Jared, Ivanka, were sources of advice that was terrible most of the time.
“ he was surrounded by many a loser.”
You write in the passive voice, a style that obscures accountability. The active voice would be, “he surrounded himself with many a loser”
