Another shitty Trump appointee.
Or it just might be that the purpose of Trump’s first term was to flush them out and expose them.
Of course, I want to know what Trump will do differently this time.
Trump had almost no say in such appointments. He realistically had about 33% of the power a President normally has.
At best he got to choose from a small list provided by McConnell. In 2014 and 2015 McConnell ran the Senate. He went into recess on a normal schedule, allowing Obama to make recess appointments. But after Trump was sworn in, he kept the Senate in pro-forma session for the entire time until Biden was sworn in, to prevent Trump from making any recess appointments. Unprecedented. Utterly unprecedented.
If that is not enough, Trump’s plan to bring in the very best of the business world collapsed in the face of highly organized street terror, boycott threats, and permanent career blackballing for anyone who got involved with him.
So he had nothing but family, and Generals that he could basically order into a position and were there to keep him in check.
And the entire time he was under Mueller and constant threat of impeachment from the Repubs. When that ended in 2019, they moved immediately into the first impeachment, and dragged that out until Feb 5th. Then they immediately launched the Covid scam which combined with the Black riots took him to the stolen election.
He had almost no ability to fire anyone after Comey, or to hire who he pleased between McConnell blocking and street terror and personal destruction of anyone wanting to come to his administration.
It’s not like he had a good selection to choose from, Obastard purged all the good men..................
