Trump should have asked him The Three Questions
Far from the only loser he hired.......
I really did expect him to be better at picking people, although to be fair he had no way of knowing how many of them were duplicitous Bush League Republicans.
If Milley actually deserves his post, it’s over. China can just come in and take over in a day.
He hired thousands, even at the top he hired hundreds, he relied upon others. Put yourself in that position, and. have you ever misjudged somebody? Happens all the time, you hire someone who interviews great, but can't do the job.
Trump’s weak spot is taking the word of people of questionable integrity to vouch for others with similar ethical credentials.
Melania should have been his chief of staff from the get-go.
She’s the street-smart side of the family.
The problem is frankly, there wasn’t much to choose from.
The good people didn’t want the jobs, because of the hassle they’d get from their leftist friends and colleagues. And also China Mitch made it clear that anyone not on his approved list would be DOA in the Senate.
All too true.
The pickings in DC were slim - pretty much no one in DC who had the patina of experience wanted Trump in charge. He had no choice but to rely on others. As I recall he had a hard time finding people to fill some positions.
I’m not sure if he’s abrasive or not - he did go through some people fairly quickly. I once read something by someone who did a business deal with him. Apparently 3 ivy league types who were used to being treated with the upmost respect went to meet DJT at his office in Trump Tower. The guy said that he can’t say they particularly liked DJT, and inferred that they were used to more butt kissing due to their positions in life, but that they got a fair deal and it was done quickly.
Personally I like people who say what they mean and mean what they say. Results matter - not butt kissing.
I use to be in the interview chain at my former company (retired). I would look over the resume and have a casual talk with the applicant. Many times I would give a thumbs down on a candidate however my boss hired them anyway. All of them were gone within a year or two. I was there 28. Go figure.
>> The problem is frankly, there wasn’t much to choose from.
Well, there was the pool of 197 Obama fired.
Two strengths I thought he had when he first ran:
1. His ability to hire good people.
2. His ability to fire.
Trump hired plenty of losers. That is for sure. He even hired a bunch for the USSC.
But he hasn’t figured out yet he funded killers with the vaccines...
Trump hired these people to expose them and guess what?
He could only choose from what Cocaine Mitch would let him have.
His cabinet was appointed that didn’t need congress approval and he made poor choices there even. Sessions? Prince Reibus? As recently as last year Trump was still singing his praises for him. Wasn’t it determined Prince Reibus was the leaker?
President Trump would've been better served had he listened more to Ann Coulter and listened less to the people he surrounded himself with in the White House who never wanted him to be president in the first place.
