I am the same person. My biggest concern about Trump running for reelection is his demonstrated inability to select high level talent for critical positions essential for helping him carry out his agenda. One person cannot do everything. With committed, talented leaders assisting him he may be able to make a dent in the swamp.
Trump had numerous failures in key positions. The three most critical appointments in a new administration are: Vice President, White House Chief of staff, Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense. Three of his first appointments - Reince Priebus, Rex Tillerson, and James Mattis were failures and each lasted less than two years. They were not the only ones. It can be argued Mike Pence was a failure as well. There were a string of other failures in critical positions from outside the beltway (Anthony Scaramucci being perhaps the most dramatic) as well as inside the beltway (General Kelly as Chief of Staff, Mark Milley as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs for example).
Trump may be able to win reelection. Can he make headway rooting out corruption and reforming the entrenched bureaucracy? Only if he has a team of talented and committed professionals working with him heading each department. He unfortunately failed his first time out.
They’ve gone from fragging to fagging.
Exactly!
