Why would he hire such a person?
Why?
Well my first guess is to keep close track of his enemy’s actions, motivations and general state of Romney type followers.
I think such actions are part of trump’s modus operadus... which is politically uncoventional.
Trump SOP for continuous smoking out his opposition.
such an obvious and repetitive personal anomaly/characteristic is not a defect... it is a feature... and it is very very intentional.
President Trump comes from the world of business with a certain level of trust. He warned us about the level of DC treachery in his campaign, but somehow thought people could be trusted to not be so vile if they were called upon to do a job.
I wouldn't be upset if he got rid of everyone who had any kind of positive connection to Paul Ryan or Mitt Romney. They've been saboteurs from before Day 1 of this presidency.
