99% of the FedGov works in the Executive Branch. Trump was in charge of the Executive Branch but because he had such a shallow understanding of what his authority was and an absolute inability to communicate effectively"
==============================================================
I would go back to my original argument. 99.99% of the fed gov was actively subverting him.
Trump could issue orders...effective/lawful/legal/pro-USA orders all day long until he was blue in the face.
Who would carry out those orders?
The very same people who were trying to oust him with their ongoing coup? Those people?
As it turns out, having someone manage one of the largest bureaucracies on the planet who doesn't have a clue how government works because he never worked in government in any capacity wasn't a very good idea."
I would argue, that he was exactly who we needed then...and now. NOT someone who was part of the broken system.
The problem wasn't Trump, the single person. The problem was the ~entire fed gov, to varying degrees, backed a 4+ year coup against him. The problem was the supporting cast.
Had just Ryan and McConnell alone, acted just like Trump from day 1 and supported him fully, it would have made an enormous difference. Then add in other (R)'s in "leadership" in the first 2 years as well as Comey acting like Trump, working with him, instead of trying to oust him in a coup...and things would have been very different.
It wasn't that Trump didn't know how to manage a large entity. He knows far, far better than most career politicians how to manage.
The problem was that it was essentially the entire government against him.
Pretty difficult to be a captain of a ship with the entire crew in mutiny. The captain won't get much done and wont last long.
