Many of us here have discussed the possibility of a personnel psy-op in Trump’s first term: that Trump purposely appointed traitors and pantywaists so that they’d have a chance to expose themselves and eventually give up leverage on their cabal brethren. Such a possible operation would have come at the cost of giving Democrats the temporary talking point of ‘Trump isn’t competent at choosing people.’
Now it’s quite interesting that Jen Psucky says, “this time he plans to line his administration with people who will actually do it”. If there was no psy-op going on in Trump’s first term, he would’ve planned back then to appoint people able to execute his agenda. If there were duds in that administration, and there were, their appointments must be explained by either Trump’s incompetence or his ulterior motives. If he was incompetent, the only thing that would help him improve is the process of elimination, as in just not rehiring the duds from the first term. Since there are thousands of potential candidates for relatively few administration positions, the process of eliminating the proven failures would not be a reliable way to guarantee that Trump will get his hard core heavy hitters into his second administration. If he’s innately incompetent, he might just appoint a new batch of duds. However, Psucky seems to believe that Trump actually does have some competence in choosing people and that he’s capable of getting it right this time. Therefore, it’s not a stretch to suspect that Psucky has at some point become hip to the theory of Trump’s first term psy-op.
It seems like the Democrats are watching The Plan unfold and are becoming believers themselves, but instead of repenting and trying to get on the right side, they are stubbornly digging in their heels, projecting their misdeeds, and fear mongering to their waning base.
