I read an analysis of Trump’s frequent firings. Trump is from the real-estate world. That is a world or projects. You hire somebody to do something and then when the something is done, they move on. But Washington is a place of “permanent” employment. Once somebody is hired they become their own being, not really responsible to their “boss.” Thus, they can do or say anything they want even if it conflicts with what the “boss” wants. Well, not under Trump. He hired you for a “job” and if you did it already or you aren’t doing it to his specifications, you are gone.
Frankly, I like Trump’s approach. Yes, I liked Bolton in his previous jobs but if he wasn’t working to make Trump’s vision work then he needs to go. On the other hand, I’d hate to have a bunch of yes men around Trump. I think, though, Trump can tell the difference.
I think Trump has both sides of people on the issue, and weighed their arguments and in the end made his decision, and since he didn’t side with Bolton, Bolton threw a hissy fit.
Correct. Bolton was hired for a job. Trump is a business man. You get a job, you do your job, you get paid. If you did a good job, you get a nice letter of recommendation to your prospective new employer.
Bolton did his saber rattler job. He’ll get a nice letter of recommendation from Trump.
If only that were the case, I’d be with you. I think people coming and going is fine (although the democrats have made it extremely difficult with all of their delays on confirmations).
But Trump isn’t saying that, he’s just throwing a bunch of hissy fits, claiming that these are all terrible people.
Because Trump is apparently really bad at hiring anybody. Do you believe that? After all, one of his strengths was supposedly hiring great people, and surrounding himself with great people.
Trump is doing some great things; he is fulfilling most of his promises, more so than most any other president.
But he is a temperamental, narcissistic child.
