re: #314 Eclectic Cyborg

They would last a week. Part of the reason for the Trump shitshow also being an incompetent (Thank God) one is this: usually Presidential administrations draw personnel from the previous party’s Presidential administration. Example: Obama drew a lot from Clinton’s Administration, and if Carter’s hadn’t been so long ago that most of them retired, some of his people would have been recruited as well.

One reason is that these people don’t have to be brought up to speed so much, and the other vetting has already been done. You just have to update the resume and vet for situations after they left. Bush 2 people went to Trump early, saw he was hopeless, and have refused to join the administration and are refusing to join it. So Trump has only his motley crew to draw from.

One of the most salient things about the Trump Administration is that the people most devoted to him lack the educational and work experiences to actually work at such a high level. They can’t help him because they don’t know how and are unwilling to learn how.
