Be fair, what were the realistic alternatives? And I mean people who were actually willing to take the arrows that came with the job?

Trump responded, “Because I hired 10:1 that were fantastic.” He also maintained the ratio of hires who still praise him to critics is 20:1.


I call that winning..................................

eyes on the ball, not the misdirect of fake news.

Lol. If he has to say that, he must even doubt what he’s saying. He picked the worst group of people in history. No that is not exaggeration. So many he chose turned on him. He always said this guy is great. The best. And boom he leave and bashed trump. One or two are on them. Dozens it’s on trump. Doesn’t know Washington, he says? Well why did you run then?

Trump should break out the Boston phone book and randomly choose people next time around. Check that, pick from phone books from a bunch of conservative small towns in the middle of flyover country.

Pence and Barr? A little. Sessions, no. Sessions was one of the most solid conservatives in the Senate, at that time.

He personally picked that goon tillerson who he knew for decades. Tillerson ended up hating him.

If he was a real maverick he would have picked more people from the private sector. Why did we get all those swamp filth? Dumb.

His hires were mostly terrible, but his candidate pool is smaller than it would be for conservatives like DeSantis since anyone who signs up with Trump knows there’s a fair chance that their professional relationship will end with a public blasting on social media.
