For all intents and purposes, Mitch McConnell.
Trump met with Bar for 20 minutes. He was convinced he was the best candidate for AG.
Trump hired him.
Trump wanted to be accepted by the “in crowd” so badly he blindly accepted every suggestion he got. Remember Sessions? LOL.
Mitch sounds like the one.
yep, Trump isn’t a loser. When he appears to lose, it’s somebody else. AG Barr, the loser before him, FBI Dir Wray, Chair of the Jt Chiefs of Staff Millie, one after another loser on his staff, 9 out of 10 members of his cabinet, and VP Pence. Don’t blame Trump. Republicans didn’t lose the House in 2018. Didn’t lose the Senate in 2020. And for sure didn’t lose the White House in 2020 either. And McConnell had nothing to do with getting Trump’s court nominees through the Senate.
