More on Trump's claim that, for every one of his staffers who are now one of his critics, there are "ten who love him": ***** The question Trump cannot answer (msn.com) The question was simple: “So why did you hire all of them in the first place?” Trump’s answer? “Because I hired 10-1 that were fantastic. For every one you say, I had ten that love us.” But this is not a real answer because the people Trump derided as a “gutless pig,” a “born loser,” and “the world’s most overrated general” were some of the most senior people in his administration. None of them were random, irrelevant staffers. Rather, we’re talking about his chief of staff, press secretary, secretary of state, the attorney general, and others of similar stature. There was seldom a time when an important figure left the White House and was not given a farewell stab in the back. One could count the people who left unscathed on one hand. By Trump’s standards, essentially none of his important hires turned out well. He would have nobody to mention if asked to list those who he actually considered “fantastic.” ... But the implications of Trump’s comments go far beyond personal issues. That he constantly insults those who used to work for him, and makes life impossible for his lawyers, means he will not be able to staff a second administration with competent people. He has burned most of the bridges with those who made his administration run last time, and his erratic, unprofessional behavior will inevitably repel those he would want to work with in the future. This is a real problem because the only way for an administration to run smoothly and efficiently is with, as Trump says, “the best people.” At some point, the Trump spectacle must come to an end. Each day, it becomes ever more exhausting, ridiculous, and embarrassing both for the Republican Party and for the country. It’s time to move on. ***** Tenchusatsu
