Nice try clown. You act like trump could freely choose whoever he wanted. Here is the truth.

The pussygate tape and pissgate “dossier” were fully intended to destroy him before the election. They were caught flat footed when he won and was putting Flynn in as Nat Sec advisor.

They scrambled for a plan to control him. Pence lied about Flynn and got him fired. Comey ran FBI spies against Trump. They put in deep state McMaster and others.

As far as him appointments, the Business Advisory council almost all quit immediately in the face of DC and leftist boycotts, street terror, and personal destruction for merely serving on that non partisan advisory board.

McConnell went into recess when Obama was President, but for the entire Trump administration, he kept the Senate in pro-forma session to prevent recess appointments. He let Obama have recess appointments, but not Trump. So all Trump appointees had to come from McConnell’s list.

And Trump’s campaign centerpiece was that he wanted to bring in Wall Street “killers” for trade and treaty negotiations.
But that pool dried up as anyone who worked with Trump was subject to street terrorism at home, at their office, and in restaurants, boycotts of them and their families etc. Murder was realistically not out of the question, but permanent destruction of their career was guaranteed.

The pool of possible appointees immediately dried up, and he was left with only McConnell’s approved list for any Senate confirmed position.

So he was left with a CIA and FBI spy infested White House, deep state only appointees, outright executive branch and GOP slow walking, and disobedience of his executive orders, and the constant threat from McConnell and Graham from May 2017 that the GOP would impeach and remove him for any further firings after Comey.

The fact is, that due to treason and progressive street terrorism, Trump had what I estimate to be about 33% of the power a President normally has. He had little control of things not within his immediate sight. He was not free to appoint anyone he wanted. You are foolish to pretend otherwise.

Wow! Thank you for that information. I knew Mitch was a back stabber, but I hadn’t known to what extent. I also knew that no other President in the history of this country has had the power of the Office of President slowly attacked and taken away. If Democrats had had their way, the Executive Branch would have been totally depleted of its privileges. And all of this was done with the help of Republicans in Congress.

Wow…that’s a lot of words and mental gymnastics to absolve him of all of his terrible picks and endorsements. Part of the job is being to pick the right people and delegate to them. Trump has a terrible record on that. His record of terrible picks goes at least all the way back to Cohen, Scaramucci, and probably others.

This is kind of fun. I’d love to hear who you blame Cohen on. I assume that’s not on Trump either.
