They may have thought otherwise but that didn’t make it so. It’s like with COVID…Trump not only didn’t put an end to it, he was responsible for signing the emergency declaration in March 2020 that enabled the WHOLE thing. …does the “Deep state” appear any less powerful than when trump took office in 2017?well 51 intelligence wonks thought otherwise
Trump trusted his medical advisors including Fauci, Birx, etc., just like he trusted other deep state wonks Barr, Pompeo, and others including the leftover white house staff before he realized they were his enemies.They may have thought otherwise but that didn’t make it so.

Exactly ? percent correct. I spent 22 years with a government agency. Hard work, initiative and drive are not rewarded. Nepotism and actively doing your utmost to get out of work are rewarded.Trump trusted his medical advisors including Fauci, Birx, etc., just like he trusted other deep state wonks Barr, Pompeo, and others including the leftover white house staff before he realized they were his enemies.
I regularly interact with private sector c-level execs, occasionally even board members, from well-known corporations;
The operating model is based on: threat, trust, expectation and delegation are common: when a c-level exec makes a decision and defines an outcome, those who are assigned (delegated) the task are expected to execute the task with the defined criteria (what is the required outcome, results), boundaries (time, cost, resources, etc.)...that is likely how Trump's businesses were run, when he wanted something done, he assigned it/delegated it, and expected it to be done as instructed. That's not how the Fed government works; which Trump learned too late.
Trump was too trusting of the traitors that surrounded him, if he gets elected again, I hope he doesn't make this same mistake.
I get that a guy coming from business might not understand government bureaucracy. But let’s not forget that he chose those traitors. And he was aware of the problem from the get go. Look at this Google trends graph. Trump was talking about the deep state during his campaign, let alone not having figured it out by 2020. What you’re saying is that he is incompetent and stupid, which I don’t believe. I think he was trying to be clever and appeasing to the deep state, and they took advantage. I have no reason to doubt he won’t do the same thing if re-elected. He may have some good instincts, but ultimately he is part of the problem.Trump trusted his medical advisors including Fauci, Birx, etc., just like he trusted other deep state wonks Barr, Pompeo, and others including the leftover white house staff before he realized they were his enemies … Trump was too trusting of the traitors that surrounded him

Dude he put Mike Pompeo as Secretary of State. John Bolton? That’s not believing the wrong people, that’s hiring them.he believed the wrong people and trusted them, they ended up betraying him; lesson learned. you had deep state advisors advocating on behalf of other deep state advisors for positions in his cabinet. Lesson learned; won't happen again
I never really watched the apprentice. Did we ever get to find out how his picks fared? Or just Omarosa or whatever her name was.His trade mark line was “you’re fired”.
I don’t think hiring has ever been his strong suit
yes, but they were recommended to him by people he trusted (wrongly). his advisors were wolves in sheep's clothing recommending more wolves in sheep's clothing. even his family was duped. You can be sure what Pompeo and Bolton said to get the position was what they knew Trump wanted to hear; once in position they did what they wanted not what Trump wanted. The Pentagon was the same, they refused to withdraw from Syria when Trump ordered it; and dragged their feet to get out of Afghanistan which would have been very different vs Bozo Biden's withdrawal.Dude he put Mike Pompeo as Secretary of State. John Bolton? That’s not believing the wrong people, that’s hiring them.
We’re doomed rsm! Enjoy the decline!Lesson learned; won't happen again
not if we get four years of Trump and he has the right people, that he can actually trust to advise him and do what he says. that will give me more time to get my sailboat, for me now, it's all about buying more time to prepare. Kameltoe & Wartz will accelerate the declineWe’re doomed RSM. Enjoy the decline!
Omarosa had a strong Michelle Obama vibe from what I rememberI never really watched the apprentice. Did we ever get to find out how his picks fared? Or just Omarosa or whatever her name was.
Omarosa walked, so Michelle Obama could runOmarosa had a strong Michelle Obama vibe from what I remember
No way, Omarosa was 100% woman! ?Omarosa had a strong Michelle Obama vibe from what I remember
