Trump simply did not expect to win, had no nucleus of qualified people to staff critical offices, made disastrous appointments with Sessions, Mattis and others, and never really learned how to use the levers of power. The fact that Comey, McCabe, Brennan, Lynch and Clapper remain free and grinning says it all. Its painful to say this.
People were under a lot of pressure from the Deep State not to work for the Trump Administration.
So putting on three rallys a day in the final days was just for show?
Why?
Why do you keep posting this sh!t?
Go back to Trump's career prior to his presidential campaign. Can you name even three people in his "nucleus of qualified people" who would have any interest in taking a cabinet position in the U.S. government?
If Trump didn’t pick Jeff Sessions, his supporters would have complained that he didn’t pick someone who supported him on the campaign.
“Trump simply did not expect to win...”
How can a supposedly sentient person utter such complete nonsense.
“and never really learned how to use the levers of power”
so given all the amazing things that Trump has accomplished in the last 3 years, you think he still hasn’t “learned how to use the levers of power”?
Wrong. Trump didn’t spend millions of his own money and do 2-3 rallies a day because he expected to loose. Why did he have deep staters in his midst? Because he had to consolidate his power. There were too many deep state obstructionists in Congress, the courts, and the bureaucracy for him to get every one he wanted from day one. It was going to take a couple of years to gain the leverage he needed to begin moving them out.
Bulls%%%%.
You keep saying Trump did not expect to win.
Everyone has an opinion, and yours is beyond stupid.
Are you a professional defeatism sower?
“Trump simply did not expect to win,...”
That’s a myth. I’ve known a few winners in my lifetime - they may not win as often as Donald Trump, but they win an awful lot. One thing for sure: they always think positive - they always expect to win.
This pervasive myth about Trump not expecting to win - or in some versions, not even wanting to win - this is usually a way for neverTrumpers to try and rationalize an outcome THEY did not expect, and that THEY did not want.
Trump expected to win. he was changing into a whole new profession. He simply didn’t know anyone. He had to rely on others to for picking people. Whom ever did the picking did a poor job.
He would have done better coming to FR to hire his cabinet and staff.
Having never been a politician, Trump had no roller deck of trusted political names. Drawing from the “general” Republican pool has been a disaster. The one exception you will note is in trade relations. His business skills helped there.
you are so full of shiit ... GTFO!!
