Please chime in if you have a good explanation for Trump hiring so many swamp creatures, deep staters, and incompetents.
I hope you (responders, regarding "had to show" comments) are right, but when he hired dingbats like the black woman from "The Apprentice", and his lousy attorney, it just seems that his ego has been more of a factor in his hiring processes than some grand scheme to "expose them all".
so well said
The fact is, while some parties are known, others aren't. When politicians are controlled by blackmail, you don't need to know the politician, you need to know whoever holds their blackmail. With multiple parties being simultaneously controlled by multiple entities with different motives, it's a difficult game. You also don't know which ones will follow orders from whom, if given conflicting orders by different handlers. You have to place each one in a situation where their true nature comes to the surface. That's what he was doing. Each pick not only needs to be analyzed for their integrity and ability to perform the job, but also analyzed as to whether they get approved by other politicians that are known enemies.
If he brought in total outsiders or trusted military, none of his picks would've ever gotten past Congress. Reagan had that problem big time, and was less effective because of it, saddled with entrenched bureaucracy who pretended to be on his side but secretly sandbagged his cleanup efforts. This plan knowingly took in a ton of bad actors to use them temporarily, sift them and replace them. Trump fired more advisors, executive staff and cabinet than any president I can remember. Genius of temporary appointments and last minute switcheroos.

It’s not about the one being blackmailed, but the ones doing the Blackmailing. People have a HARD time with that. I think if it like this … do you want to lock up the kid caught doing drugs, or the shit head that sold them the drugs.
it doesn't seem like that at all, if you're paying attention. you know there's a plan, right?
I think that, like all people, trump is not infallible. Combine that with the fact that he has all the forces of evil allayed against him and he’s bound to accidentally hire some bad apples. The good news is that it doesn’t really matter, we press on and continue the fight. In the end we will prevail, that’s what is important.
If Trump has a fault, it is in extending too much charity and loyalty to those who prove sadly lacking. But you never know until you know. He does not play Lot's wife when he sends someone packing.
Exactly. She did no crime. Didn’t need to be exposed. Shit show.
Using a supposed weakness as a strength, get the masses to believe you are ego driven etc while you’re actually a very stable genius
100% this. Even if the “had to show them” theory is correct it cant explain all of the hires and decisions. I love Trump, hes awesome, hes hilarious, but hes human. Some on here refuse to believe he could ever make a mistake.
Yes! The fact that he continue to defend the covid shots is pretty good evidence of him being unable to admit when a mistake was made. I know there are those, and maybe they are right, that the shots kept even worse things from happening, in regard to the deep state, but he could at least admit the crimes of Fauci at this point. He was once asked if there was anything he regretted as President, and he said there was nothing. I'll vote for him again, but I wish he had a LITTLE humility.
I agree with you that Trump is not perfect and is capable of making mistakes. However, I think his refusal to admit mistakes does not come from a lack of humility. I think it is his strategy in that he feels like admitting to mistakes will only fuel those in opposition to him. I think he would rather appear like someone without humility than to appear weak in any way.
There is no mistake in hiring them, he allowed them to prove themselves before he fired them.
it would have been a mistake AFTER they proved their real allegiance to keep them on...
