Trump should reveal who recommended these hires. They have all been shown as complete frauds, and actively working against the goals of his administration and the American people who elected him.


Milley
Wray
Barr
Sessions
Pence
Kavanagh
Bolton
Mattis
Kelly
Scaramuchi
Haspel
Esper
Krebs
Prebus
Tillerson

Rhymes with swamp.

(J/K it IS the swamp.)

At a certain point, it is Trump's fault for not draining it. He was trying to do his thing - cut deals. They weren't all good ones.

The Right is just as Swampy as the Left.

Even worse, the Right will backstab each other.

He actually said he brought in Milley because Mattis hated him.

I saw that. Love Trump, but seriously hope he was being tongue in cheek when he said that is the reason for hiring the CJC, the most powerful position in the military.

This is why he can't govern and we should probably be in the DeSantis camp. What is Trump going to do in 2024 if he wins? Fire everyone in every department? I know my boy antibarner says that is the way to go, but it would just lead to a bunch of chaos, perceived or real. Perhaps Ron could do a better job with his swamp rats.

This is why I am a definite DeSantis lean.

If Trump is on the ticket he still gets my vote, but the first time around didn't have nearly enough cleaning house.

And a lot of GOP'ers won't work with him. Probably because he calls them morons in public.

Which may be true, but certainly doesn't foster productive relationships. Nor does it get Cabinet appointments through the Senate.

not giving him excuses but grabpussygate left him forced to pick Pence and he was green in Dc. Obama had the Nat Sec Council stacked with hundreds.

Trump didn't even make it a few days before Pence helped get rid of Flynn. And they were leaking his phone calls with foreign leaders and lying saying he said something bad to the Russian envoy fat dude.

Yeah and he also worked until the end days instead of resigning like a lot of cowards did. Mike is a good guy and if you don't see that, I stand with my initial reply.

To this day I am convinced Kellyanne was undermining everything from the inside. I love Trump, but she had him fooled.

Trump was a huge disappointment. The truth is that too many people blindly support him to critique his performance in any objective or rational way. His image that the fanboys love is far from his reality. They thought he was fighting things that he wasn't. They thought he had control that he didn't. They paint him like some master Jedi but, in reality, he was much closer to an Ewok.

In 2018 Kavanaugh made a speech to the Heritage Foundation advising that it was wrong for SCOTUS to uphold the ACA as constitutional.

A year later Trump nominated him as Kavanaugh was now going to deliver the final death blow to ACA/Obamacare.

Trump had the election stolen from him and Brett has the spine of a jellyfish. I'm missing a few steps but that's the gist. TL/DR: Kavanaugh is a cuck.

We needed constitutionalists and what he nominated was far from it. I would rather have had Ben Carson than any of the ones he picked. Hell, stick Ron Paul in there for a few years. That would have really pissed off the left.

Forgive me if I don't trust the discernment of somebody that trusted Sessions and Wray and Kansas.

It has been said more than once that Pompeo made fun of the new last minute Trump hires at the Pentagon * called them nuts. And was one of the dirty rats that went behind Trump's back with Malley and the rest when they pulled a foreign policy strike and told POTUS afterwards at Mar-A-Lago.

Does it really matter about Pompeo? He sure didn't help when Trump was on the hot coals of impeachment with Ukraine.

Some swamper he should have gotten rid of from the beginning. I hate how they are in everything.

Everyone is there own person, but her husband was in the freaking Lincoln Project for God sake, calling Trump a Nazi. Just F'n weird for her to be so close to Trump.

And for those saying Trump just needed to work with these people, and they would have not undermined him are wrong. Many of these people were leftist/Marxists in disguise who got appointed by whispering sweet nothings in Trumps ear. It is obvious because they are all on CNN and MSNBC spouting DNC talking points.

Someone was advising Trump. No way for Trump who to hire for alot of these positions, he had trusted people around him giving him really bad advice.
