How many of those phone book appointees would have gotten Senate approval?
Sometimes your choices are limited when your enemies have to agree with them. And yes, Trump had more than enough Republican enemies in the Senate.
So what if we could magically go back in time and Trump could start his presidency all over again under your thinking we’re going to get all the same people because he basically had no choice right?
My point is that Trump started his war four years too late. If he had to literally get up every day in front of a microphone and say no I’m not taking these people because they’re garbage and I don’t care if we go without anyone in these positions I’m not taking them. Then that’s what he should have done. We all knew they were all crap how the hell didn’t he?
