Another of Trump’s less then stellar picks . When I see posts like this, I’m reminded of Trump being a very lousy judge of character.
He wasn’t a “lousy judge of character.” Quite the opposite. He was simply a newcomer to DC and didn’t know the people and their secret history as well as the insiders did.
He made a few mistakes because of this—and corrected them don’t forget.
All of his hires who had to be fired were known to the insiders, who could have encouraged these wrong picks.
I think he knows a lot more now and a lot more people who will give him the right advice, not the purposely wrong advice—or to be a bit more kind, not the advice that would secretly seal some kind of personal deal for someone. This is DC, after all.
He may need to so off on his own, or at least threaten to go off on his own. I hope he never has to do it, but what must be must be.
