Trump is terrible at hiring people.
I think I know why.
He hires people based on how convincingly they suck up to him. It's no more complicated than that.
Cohen was like a little puppy dog around Trump. He was his most faithful servant. So of course Trump hired him.
This is a serious, serious flaw in Donald Trump's leadership style.
I strongly suspect he's going to do that again when he takes office next January.
Last time he had a small enemies list that wanted to destroy him..This time around the list is pages and pages full of names and a lot of them republican names.....I think it will be a different way of doing things this time......
(Trump is terrible at hiring people.)
Unfortunately true but in Trumps defense I always saw it as being an outsider he relied on people he assumed wanted what was best for the country and knew their way around….He was unaware of how deep the swamp went and how many rinos there were swimming in it.
He’s a quick study, with hope and prayers that won’t happen again. Imagine what could have been had his hands not been tied by his own party.
“He hires people based on how convincingly they suck up to him.”
I always assumed he hired people mostly based on physical appearance. So often in rallies he’ll point out people and say they’re “good looking”, or “right out of Central Casting”, or similar.
Maybe things will change next time around.
In a system dominated by corruption how does one fill all of the patronage positions without having to hold one’s nose occasionally and hope they are low on the corruption meter?
Sad but true. A real character flaw.
Don’t worry. Trump will not win.
I strongly suspect he's going to do that again when he takes office next January.Who the F cares?
Trump accomplished more for Americans in a 4 year term than any President in your lifetime.
I think you are exactly right. He is a bit narcissistic and definitely expends a tremendous amount of energy feeding his own ego.
Makes him very easy to manipulate by the right kind of person.
I kinda agree and disagree. He hired people whom he thought were going to help him politically. That turned out not to be the case.
The best people were the ones he brought with him.
As for people like Cohen? He was a lap dog. An errand boy.
I can assure you he will not do this again.
