He needs people who have his back.. within his party..but i guess that is asking to much?

Trump didnt mount an effort to recruit and endorse MAGA people in GOP primaries. Instead he mostly endorsed incumbents. As a maverick in the GOP, he needed to work hard to build his own base of lawmakers who would have his back. I dont think he did.
I love the guy, his instincts, his principles, and his courage. But Im afraid hes too undisciplined for the daunting task of draining the swamp. Im not sure anybody could do it, but I know it cant be done without a lot more discipline and laser-like strategy than Trump put into it.
For instance, you dont drain the swamp by hiring Esper, Wray, Bolton, and Haspel.
