How many times does one have to get stabbed in the back?
Trump’s a multi-billionaire because of great business success, business sense, and loyalty to good performers.
Elements of that kind of success don’t die easily.
Trump is used to firing substandard performers in business. I know it has come as a surprise to him that he often can’t do that in government. As good as he is with people, he has to be EXTEMELY predictive about somebody’s ability to perform well and be loyal to him BEFORE he hires them.
Often, he has no choice about what is forced on him because that’s how government works.
