Trump’s problem is that there simply weren’t enough people loyal to him, and who actually wanted him to succeed. He was too naive, as to how much the political lifers in both parties hated him.
No kidding. I read that out of all his previous cabinent members, only 4 support him. Tells you everything you need to know about those scumbags.
people around Trump, like Pence and the rest were AFRAID. As long time pols, "They know how government works" and not some outsider. You can't upset the apple cart and do things differently, that scared them to death. Because their way of doing things would be obsolete. How would they function, how would they have the power they were accustomed to?
