It was because the bad ones are way more numerous than the good ones.

Trump four year term was a zoo. He couldn't keep anybody.

Of course.

Trump is a disrupter. Those that didn't want to disrupt were jettisoned.

DeSantis should not tie himself to Trump. It’s political suicide to anyone who gets involved with Trump and I love Trump.

That's cute

Is that why he hired John Bolton?

And Chris Wray?

Is that why he kept Fauci around?

Yep. Trump loves loyalty. You can argue it will be even more important this time around considering all the snakes who exposed themselves during his first term.

Hardly blame him.

Steve Bannon

Heck even his son-in-law Jared Kushner, who many here consider a bad hire, was instrumental in the Abraham Accords.

But the loyalty only goes in one direction towards Trump. He doesn’t show the same loyalty.

The saying is...

Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me.

In other words, I trusted you the first time and you betrayed me. That's your fault. But I knew what you were the second time. If I get fooled again I'm just a dummy.

Bolton played a role. He was a foil to get Kim Jong Un into peace talks as to undermine Xi. NK is a puppet state of China and Trump talking peace with Kim Jong Un pisses Xi off.

After Bolton usefulness was over they parted ways.

quote:
And Chris Wray?

That was a negotiation with McConnell and the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence to get someone senate confirmation.

Fauci is/was a civil servant. Extremely difficult to fire. Was in government before Trump and was hired by Ronald Reagan.
