Trump's historical weakness since winning in 2016 was extremely poor personnel decisions coupled with enemy sappers getting through the wire and into the highest levels of influence. It came to a head at the worst possible time.
Trump's first and second pics for very high level positions within the (campaign) / administration appear to be the absolute worst case scenarios - Mike Pence and Jeff Sessions
I saw a clip from an interview on Fox a while back where he said he named Jeff Sessions as his AG because Sessions begged him for the job.
Really? That sounds like something I’d see on his TV show.
