Let’s be clear. Trump had to pick from a poor lot first time around because so many swamp-savvy, who knew how the DC system works, refused to be a part of his administration. They knew what was in store from the uniparty.
Beyond that, I agree, who can he trust? Who can WE trust? He can’t do it alone, against a united front of vested interests, an antagonistic media establishment, a feckless shell of a GOP Caucus in the House, a Senate in a uniparty world of their own, a judiciary laced with rogues, sociopaths and worse.
An old folk question asks, when does a cucumber become a pickle? I’m afraid we are already pretty well pickled.
I had to think about that one.
It never stops being a cucumber. It just becomes a pickled one.
