Cabinet Secretaries appointed by Donald Trump continue to find it extremely difficult to hire staffers due to Trump's exaggerated sensitivity to past criticism and perceived slights Secretary of State Rex Tillerson was told that he couldn’t choose a deputy who had criticized the president. Robert Harward, Trump’s first choice for national security adviser, turned him down, reportedly because he would not have been allowed to install his own staff without approval from Trump’s advisers. Secretary of Treasury Steven Mnuchin currently lacks undersecretaries or assistant secretaries, since his choices were turned down for having been insufficiently supportive of Trump in the past or perceived as too liberal. Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson couldn’t appoint Shermichael Singleton to a top position after his past criticism of Trump was discovered. Even among the staff already installed, infighting is prevalent. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos and Attorney General Jeff Sessions feuded over Trump’s decision to revoke protections for transgender students in a draft order, according to a New York Times report. Because Trump ultimately sided with Sessions, DeVos was forced to give in since Sessions could not proceed without her cooperation and decided she would not resign over this issue. Trump has filled less than three dozen of the 550 top Senate-confirmed positions, according to a report by Politico. The reasons for the rejections vary aside from the common theme that their appointments would seem to bruise the president’s ego. A candidate preferred by DeVos was rejected as a result of having previously worked for an organization that had supported policies opposed by Trump. Many positions filled personally by Steve Bannon and other Trump loyalists were escorted out of the White House one week ago after they failed background checks - which is typically due to lying on their FBI form SF86. These lies are often about their drug usage in the past 7 years, credit reports or other information which indicate prior financial dishonesty, lies about the timing and responsibilities in their previous employment. In addition, prior criminal convictions and a very bad credit score can both fail an applicant even if they were honest about them on their SF86.
