Thats pure bullcrap. Trump did indeed have many good people. But when the never Trump crowd in the GOP house and Senate kept dangling impeachment, the CIA and FBI went hard after anyone close to him and arrested a few, and the psycho democrats started attacking people in restaurants...
His pool dried up fast.
Also, every appointment that had to be Seante confirmed was a non-starter if it was not a swamper.
Trump was boxed in by Ryan and Mitchell, by absolute traitors in the CIA and FBI, and by antifa street terrorists going after his people.
Trump has not had the liberty to appoint loyalists, and many of them sensibly decided that it was too dangerous to serve him. The deep state used dozens of tactics to force him to be surrounded by those determined to attenuate everything he tried. Getting rid of Flynn with the help of Pence was move number one.
“Getting rid of Flynn with the help of Pence was move number one.”
Who chose Pence as his VP candidate? I believe it was Trump.
Who chose Chris Christie to manage his transition? The transition director should have had an administration vetted and ready to go the minute the election outcome was known. I believe Mr. Trump appointed Chris Christie.
Who appointed Rex Tillerson, James Mattis, Christopher Ray?
If Trump had been ready with candidates to announce the day after election day, he could have forced the GOP Senate to take action. The fact is, he wasn’t ready and that gave the GOP establishment time to force his hand. Not having a cabinet to announce within a week of winning is on Trump and no one else if he was a serious candidate.
