[That’s good news to me. I never liked that guy.]
If he had chosen some of his hometown cronies for senior positions - Giuliani to be his AG, and someone like Bernard Kerik to be Homeland Chief or White House Chief of Staff, many of his problems would never have materialized. Kerik would have fired all of the Russia investigation conspirators without prompting by Trump. That’s the thing about people you know well and are friends - they will instinctively cover for you because they know you will cover for them.
If left to his own devices, Trump probably would have picked MICHAEL COHEN as his AG. I’m only half kidding about that.
