Trump listened to entirely the wrong people in his initial WH hiring: the GOPe, liberal Manhattan Democrats Jivanka, Condi Rice and other Bushies, congressional leadership, etc.
It’s been a long, long year, but at least he’s righting the ship. Let’s hope it’s not too late.
Trump likes to hire specialists. When he first got to DC I think he wanted to get some insiders to help him learn the way. Now that he has the experience and knowledge, he wants to hire his own people who will be loyal to him and his policies.
