I love Trump and support him 1,000%, but his weakness is that he tends to let his guard down with people who shower him with flattery. Unfortunately, we saw many in the previous administration who used insincere praise to work their way in and sabotage Trump’s efforts from the inside. That cannot happen again. I also think Trump, not being a politician, relied upon the advice of experienced DC insiders in choosing people the first time around, and it bit him big time as they just populated his administration with spies and saboteurs.
This time, Trump should ignore every one of the “experts” and fill his administration with the smartest, most hardcore MAGA supporters in existence. He needs to build an army to demolish the DC establishment, not a diplomatic corps to “work with them.” He’s also going to need the best lawyers he can get, because the lawfare and legal obstruction will only amp up further if he wins.
And I think his “field marshal” should be Steve Bannon.
There is something to that.
He had to rely to heavily on people who “knew the system”. And those people “knew the system” because they were IN the system.
There is an outstanding question I have: Who recommended Gina Haspel to him?
Who?
Because, as Dan Bongino puts it...she isn’t “one of us” and by that, he means “a friend of America”.
