Trump 2.0 doesn’t have John Kelly, doesn’t have Steve Manuchin, doesn’t have any of the Jared and Ivanka faction. None of those guardrails are there, just yes men.
Right. We didn’t make a big enough deal out of the fact that so many of Trump’s staffers from the first administration were either discarded or turned on him. That’s very telling. Now he is surrounded by Yes Men and sycophants
Yup, Trump's first cabinet had at least some people that were actually qualified for their positions, had at least some sense of morality, and stood up to Trump eventually.
They were obviously all replaced with unqualified loyalists that would never have gotten anywhere near the Oval Office in any other administration. It all points to the broader goals of Trump's administration of identifying and removing obstacles to Trump's authority.
As disastrous as many of Trump's orders have been so far, the real pain is still to come once power is more fully consolidated.
