He needs people who have his back.. within his party..but i guess that is asking to much?
“ He needs people who have his back.. within his party.”
Trump didn’t mount an effort to recruit and endorse MAGA people in GOP primaries. Instead he mostly endorsed incumbents. As a maverick in the GOP, he needed to work hard to build his own base of lawmakers who would “have his back”. I don’t think he did.
I love the guy, his instincts, his principles, and his courage. But I’m afraid he’s too undisciplined for the daunting task of draining the swamp. I’m not sure anybody could do it, but I know it can’t be done without a lot more discipline and laser-like strategy than Trump put into it.
For instance, you don’t drain the swamp by hiring Esper, Wray, Bolton, and Haspel.
