As I’ve said before ... If President Trump only put trusted people in those positions, then about 95% of the leadership positions in the executive branch of the U.S. government would be vacant. And most of those that COULD be filled would have a Trump family member in it.
Nonsense. I am not a Trump family member, and neither are thousands of Conservative staffers on the staffs of Conservative House reps and senators, or in Conservative think tanks and other non-profits and within the business community.
It is not of matter of putting only persons known to Trump.
It is the leaving in place of persons put into staff positions by previous administrations, as GWBush did (and the deep state tried to do a coup on him using PlameGate) and as the deep state has done to Trump.
Both men came into office pretending that who their immediate predecessor (Clinton’ and Obama) had gotten onto the NSC, CIA, State staffs were NOT biased people that would oppose or undermine them. That was simply naive.
