You underestimate Trump. He knows very well who these so-called experts are starting with Dr. Fauci and Birx. He is simply letting them reveal them selves. Has anybody bothered to check on their bios? And who their connections are?
One thing I never do is “underestimate” Trump.
But he is a human. He has made some serious personnel mistakes (Scaramucci, Tillerson, Kelly, Mattis, etc.).
Much of the weakness is traceable back to Sessions being a total dipwad, which tied Trump’s hands to a great extent in cleaning out some of these departments.
