In Trump’s defense: he was new to politics...he was new to Washington...he was new to government.
Trump’s biggest problem is ‘projection’. You tend to think people are like yourself. If you are honest, you tend to think everyone else is honest.
This is why the worst liars are always calling other people liars.
I used to own several properties- I had to call numerous contractors to repair this or that, and the worst liars were the ones who said in their sales pitch “You can trust me”.
It never seemed to occur to the honest ones that they had to tell me I could trust them.
Now Trump did not get where he is by being stupid- he learned how to deal with that in business.
But in the government EVERYTHING is office politics. You have nothing to measure success, like pouring concrete on time and under budget. The government has opposite objectives: Spend it all or lose it.
“In Trump’s defense: he was new to politics...he was new to Washington...he was new to government.”
Worse than that, there was only a handful of trustworthy people available. The rest were deep state saboteurs.
I don’t blame Trump at all.
He did the best he could with what he had.
In his next term, he will be ruthless and they know it.
Jan.6 / tax returns won’t keep him off the ballot.
AFGHANISTAN is the democrats cement shoes.
