That interview greatly disturbed me, particularly the part where Trump explained why he nominated Sessions.

“He was the only Senator who endorsed me and he came to me four times and begged for the job.”

Is THAT really the criteria Trump used to make one of the most critically important appointments of his presidency?

If so that certainly explains why so many of his appointments were clunkers. Frankly I expected much better from him.

Let’s be brutally honest here. One of the things I always liked about Trump was that I wanted him to run his administration like he was a professional wrestling promoter. You’re seeing a huge downside to this.

You don't take a sitting Senator whose chances for re-election are excellent and appoint him to anything.

The President learned a lesson on this appointment.

To give him credit, this was at a time when better candidates were being actively discouraged, even threatened, from taking a job with the Trump admin.

That’s why folks like Carter Page and George P. were ever able to get anywhere close to Trump. The “A-list” candidates were afraid of being blackballed by DC society for life.

You sure don't have a good memory! NO REPUBLICANS wanted to have anything to do with TRUMP because they were all for HILLIARY!

Trump didn't have many people that wanted to join him, and the ones that he did have were TRAITORS!

Lots of poor hiring decisions. You dont pull a sitting Senator when we barely have a majority. Big mistake.

Frankly I expected much better from him.

BULLSHIT!

Or you're just too stupid to know there wasn't a huge pool of people waiting to work for Trump. Too stupid to know he didn't have a lot of choices.

The only fool in this picture is you.
